Thank you & God Bless! -----Original message----- From: Linda Willis-Riojas lindajwr1956@yahoo.com Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2005 08:51:59 -0700 To: Melanie Morgan - Move America Forward info@moveamericaforward.org Subject: Re: We're Going to Washington, D.C. > Dear Ms. Morgan, > > I went to the Saturday, August 27, 2005 "Cindy Doesn't Speak for Me" rally in Crawford, Texas. > I am disabled and on a limited income, so I cannot attend the Washington Rally, nor contribute monetarily. I would like to contribute this letter from Captain Gary Bourland, USMC, who is stationed in Iraq and read about the Rally in the story printed in the Wilson County News in Floresville, Texas. This is addressed to me, but I think it appies to every single person that attended the Crawford rally, and those who are attending the Washington Rally for our troops. Would you please read Captain Bourland's letter at the Rally? I am not important, but what Capt. Bourland wrote is extremely important. Please, give him a voice at the Washington Rally. > > Linda Willis-Riojas > Somerset, Texas > > Capt. Gary Bourland wrote: > > Linda- > > Im very proud of you. Every day we are reminded how crucial it is what exactly we are doing. Countless IEDs, Indirect Fire and sporadic sniper fire are continuous reminders as well. As the news reports of the Iraqi constitution this and the constitution that, it is amazing they > don’t even recognize that what they are reporting is a monumental thing called democracy in action. Will the constitution change? Yes, just as ours does almost on a monthly basis. > > Your selfless actions similar to the others efforts I have witnessed through the AnySoldier program continuously humble me in the gratitude and awesome support that is only found in the United States. Ive been deployed to numerous countries and believe me there is only one United States. No one else comes close. The news channels report the one sided view for both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. You don’t hear about young PFC’s in Iraq providing first aide to an insurgent wounded child and then becoming wounded themselves as they attempt to help the wounded child. No, they don’t report that because they would rather push the big > items that ultimately bring attention to their station. > > Your Marines, Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen continue to train an infant military force, establish peace in a hostile environment, eliminate dictatorship and terrorist activities and build a government in a country that has no hope unless we provide it. Its called their job. They will > do it regardless with or without any support because we swore that we would when we signed up for this type of service. But I can tell you there isn’t any service member out there that likes to be kicked in the face and be dishonored like those protestors are doing. They are > degrading our nation and armed forces and the men & women that have died in protecting it. > > They truth is Linda there is no physical way the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan or the foreign fighters in Iraq can militarily beat the US forces currently stationed in those locations and they know that and have attested to that especially when we capture them and sell out their own brother or father to coalition forces to save their own neck. The real traddagy is that both of the previous terrorist groups love our media because they are doing the work for them in the US. They love it when our media tells a mother back home in Ohio that her son has been > killed in Iraq and then watch her in her anguish the uprising against US forces deployed. Of course she is going to be upset but to have it shaped into counter productivity for our fighting members is dang near criminal and treason. The insurgents will attack young wives, mothers and family’s of lost ones back in the states by negative propaganda, religious groups and anti was protestors. That’s where the real war is at and it's time the American people do something like what you have done to fight against it. So, I salute you Linda. Thank you for combating the > enemy on our own front steps and making a difference. > > Semper Fi, Capt Bourland, Iraq.

Had I known that downloading the 'real player' CSPAN utilizes to stream, would have taken so incredibly long, I could have downloaded it much earlier and watched this unfold.

C-Span uses both Real Player and MS Media Player. I won't use Real Player; it downloads spam and spyware to your computer and tries to take over all your media programs. Use uninstall to get rid of it and then use an anti-spy ware program to get rid of the dregs.
