Thank you for posting.
I firmly believe we are fighting evil in a world battleground. Radical Islamists want to bring the U.S.A down. We cannot stand by and let them do this piece by piece as they were attempting to do during the Clinton years. We need to push on, help Iraq become a democracy and spread that democracy in the Middle East. It's either that or let democracy die worldwide.
Thank you very much for sharing.
To Marine's Mom : Here's hoping your son keeps up the good work he and the other patriots are doing for us over there,and I wish you & your family the best. May God bless you and bring your son and all the others home safe and sound. When you write to your son again,please let him know we all are pulling for him and his buds,and we BELIEVE in them, and SUPPORT them 100%.
As for Bush...It's in the bag! ;)
I don't think they just want to bring the US down. I think they want to bring all of western civilization down, Christianity, Judaism and all freedom. They want us to become barbarians just like them.
It is the pain and suffering that every Mother goes through when her child serves their country. her story brings tears to my eyes. and I pray for her Son, and all the best and brightest that are fighting these evil people. God Please protect them.
On skerry, retreat which he calls for would be a massacre of our troops. He is dangerous and must not be allowed to win this election. VOTE BUSH
Thank you for your message to my friend. I will direct her to the thread so she can read it.
Please let this mother know that there are lots of grateful Americans who consider their son's service to be most noble and that their contribution will NEVER BE FOR NOTHING. Regardless of any end result, all American solders fight for the greater good of the world.... and that we understand that.
thanks for posting!
Tell her my prayers are with her family and her son!
And if she can pass a message to him in Iraq have her pass along a message from A Vet to A Marine please pass along..
GO GET EM' DEVIL DOG!
Bump for a Great American Mom!
Dear Mother of a Marine,
You are a wonderful Mom and your sentiments help your son to feel solidly supported and worthwhile. That high degree of morale and purpose will help to keep him safe and sound. The Marines are very well trained and know what they're doing.
Having said that, I cannot begin to imagine what it is like for you so my heart goes out to you and your family. Most of all, here an "Oo-rah!" for that brave Marine and God bless you all.

While I don't recommend that "Mother Of A Marine" read the article linked below...
I suggest it for others.
And ponder if there is much difference between the DNC/MoveOn.Org and the
"German propogandists" of WWI mentioned in the article.
I'm praying for all our troops in service.
And that they'll all have the INCREDIBLE fortitude of the mother of Quentin Roosevelt.

Pretty much sums it up. GW says what he means and means what he says. JohhnyNam just says whatever will work towards getting him elected on any given day to any given crowd. He has no plan and even if he did, he would never act on it consistently and persistently. That pattern of behavior as President would only serve to bolden our enemies and get more of our servicemen and citizens killed. He's a dangerous empty suit.
Yes I know. Luke's name is on that list. Thanks. I have directed her to this thread so she can read all the supportive messages.
My post 15 was too obtuse.
Just let me say G-d Bless Edith Roosevelt and all the mothers and fathers
whose children have gone in harm's way.
And the grace and consolation to bear the loss of any of them.
(see paragraphs 4 and 5; it's a story that should be common knowledge)

I wonder if Kerry believes Iraq is a "bigger nothing" than Viet Nam?
