but what are the rest of us to do, as we lose these wonderful patriotic good people.....

We carry on. We use these wonderful people as role models. I don't believe that ANYTHING is an accident.

If Tonk was an example to you, know that God put him in your life for a reason.

I did not know you in real life, Tonk, nor in Freeper life. But reading through this outpouring of affection you must have been a helluva fine man. Your spirit lives on in the lives of those you have touched. What a fine spirit it must be.

Thanks for keeping Hanoi Kerry out of the White House.
