Great point. And how great a follower is he now, when he insults our coalition and our troops during the current war?

I think the Vietnam era was telling regarding Kerry's character, but we should probably focus on what he has said *now* about *this* conflict, as that is where he is currently doing the most damage, and that is where he would potentially do incredible damage, should he get elected.

Americans will better understand direct danger than examples from 30 years ago, and John Kerry does represent a direct threat to American lives.

I happen to think it's irresponsible what he has said already: Al-Jazeera quotes him (and his Dem co-horts, who he tacitly approves by his silence) with glee, and I believe the main point is that Kerry has RECENTLY, in 2004, AIDED AND COMFORTED ENEMIES OF THE US.

What more do people want to see before they fully see the fraud that Kerry represents? Bush looked very genuine in this debate, like "wait a minute, why do I have to debate this guy? Did you hear what he said about our allies and our cause in Iraq???" Perhaps just hammering home that point will be sufficient to keep Kerry out of the office of President.

God Bless our troops.

Sharon, thank you for allowing valleygal to post these letters. They are a powerful testament to the good that you and all our troops are doing. Because of the poor job our mainstream media are doing in covering the REAL story in Iraq, so many of us are starving for stories from those who are actually there. Please, keep your pen going at your convenience when you have a few moments of spare time.

Prayers are continuing for you and all our troops at the Troop Prayer Threads.

Thank you, TEXOKIE for all your support for our troops. As I said before, it is so obvious that your prayer thread for the troops is a labor of love and I feel God will honor it.

Praying daily for all our troops, our President and the Iraqi and Afghani people in this transition in their lives and their longing to have what we take for granted and what our brave men and women die fight for... freedom!

Sharon and all out military are in my prayers. They are the real backbone of this nation and without them we are lost. God Bless and keep every one of them safe from harm.

[valleygal]

You are welcome!

"I fight a war on terror so my young nieces and nephews, their children and all of your small, loved ones never have to deal with a 9/11, again...."

In the end, that is really what it is all about. Unless one has children, this may be lost on them. Too me, it is everything.
