AN IRAQ-AMERICAN TELLS IT LIKE IT IS!
WLS radio ^

Posted on 04/04/2003 8:41:04 AM PST by UpToHere

If you are a Chicago area resident, you've probably heard about this incident on the Don and Roma call-in show on WLS.

If not, you'll appreciate hearing it and perhaps you'll share it with others. It's quite moving.

Here's what happened.

Don and Roma's son is an F18 fighter pilot (and ex-Blue Angel and local Chicago celeb), who is stationed somewhere near Iraq now.

An antiwar protester emailed Don and Roma stating that he hoped their son would die if the US goes to war against Iraq. It brought tears to Roma's eyes, but she still read this hateful email on the air.

After hearing it read, an Iraqi-American girl called in and this is what she had to say.

Don and Roma are going to replay this file everyday until the war is over.

Thanks a lot! I wish the major news stations would pick up things like this to put on air so that more of the anti-war protestors could see and hear the truth.

That's a correct transcript, but you really need to hear Angie's voice.

It will send chills down your spine.

I hadn't heard the beginng of this story about the Peace Rioters wanting the host's son to be killed. That adds to it in my opinion.

Aw man I don't think I could handle that. The original sound clip already had me welling up. Thanks anyway!

I finally found this again. I made about 10 backup copies this time. I don't know what it is about this file - It has a tendency to disappear for some reason. Here it is: Angie From Iraq

Thank you - I'll have to learn how to post a link properly on this site.

Looks like I may have figured it out. You don't need any html code...
