MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT
MOVE AMERICA FORWARD HEADS TO CUBA
Hello, it's Melanie Morgan, Chairman of Move America Forward (the nation's largest pro-troop organization) and I have some really big news to announce.
I am leading a delegation from Move America Forward to our Navy base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to support our troops with Christmas and Hanukkah cards and an assortment of gifts.
We want to add to our gifts by getting the latest movies on DVD. We have special permission to bring extra suitcases full of goodies for the troops.
Our military men and women have done a fabulous job in protecting us from the threat of Islamic terrorism. I have personally gone over to Iraq to meet with our troops and hear from them directly about what is going on – the true story that you never will get from the mainstream media.
We are winning the war in Iraq and defeating terrorism. And, the worst of the terrorists we have captured are right there in Guantanamo Bay. Yet, we hear so many politicians more concerned about the rights of the terrorists than the well-being of our military. Well, there is no doubt where we stand. We are totally behind our troops, including those standing guard at Guantanamo Bay.
We are delighted and excited to be able to personally tell the United States military personnel at Guantanamo Bay how much we appreciate their service to America. We especially appreciate those who have had the difficult duty of containing the worst terrorists, who are imprisoned at the Navy Facility.
Move America Forward has been conducting a nationwide tour to support sending care packages to the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. The tour began in Sacramento Country with a parade to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the California Vietnam Memorial and will now end at the U.S. military facility in Cuba.

With Americans focused on the economic problems facing our country, we have to ensure that our troops in harm’s way are not forgotten during the Christmas and Hanukkah holiday season. Our care packages are heading to Iraq and Afghanistan, but it is also important to remember our troops who are keeping the terrorists at bay just 90 miles from our shores.
Going with me will be Gold Star Mom Debbie Lee, whose son Marc Alan Lee was the first Navy SEAL killed in Iraq. We went to the Middle East together last Christmas to personally distribute Christmas and Hanukkah cards to our troops.
With so many politicians irresponsibly criticizing the job being done by American troops at Guantanamo Bay, we thought it was important for us to go there and personally tell them that the American people are 100% behind them – despite what a few self-serving politicians have to say.
