I attended Barbara Olson's funeral Mass today. From earlier acquaintance, much less recent history, I knew what a remarkable woman she was, her vivacity, her dedication, her generosity. I went there in Army uniform, and here's why: Barbara K. Olson's soul met our Maker, literally, in the office of the Army Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel (DCSPER). This, my friends, is the very place where the welfare, readiness, morale, and capability of our soldiers come home to roost. This is also where we in the Army family are contemplating the loss of 74 more souls, with so many others, in this tragedy. Among these concerns for the soldier, in the DCSPER, is the sacred integrety of the soldier's vote, that that freedom which is defended with blood is also excercised with honor. Recall, please, those engaged only 10 months ago in the vigorous defense of that honor. Among them are some lost in the DCSPER. Among them is Barbara Olson. Let us remember that she was our Advocate. She was our Friend, who died among friends. I salute her, and will miss her.

...As a Freeper Demonstrating on behalf of -Counting all the Military Votes- last November, I give you and yours our U.S. 7th Cavalry Regiment's Salute of...

.."GARRY OWEN"

...DON'T dare LET THE CLINTONS GET AWAY WITH THIS ...since it was them, with their own friendly links to America's Enemies dating back to the Turbulent 1960's, that STOPPED our Protector CIA -from 1995 on- from hiring the Spies we so desparately needed to spy on their friends Communist China and all Terrorist States. That Act alone prevented us from having any idea what Evil Plans they had in store for US.

...DON'T YOU DARE...

...for The Enemy is now Within...

...The War has Come Home.

...4-SURE, 4-SURE.

What true words you have spoken......what a treasure she was....so brave, so bright, so bold, so beautiful.....our BKO.

I wish I could have attended but it helps to hear from someone who was there.

FREEPER Friends: If you haven't done so yet; please take the time to send a note to her beloved husband, Ted to tell him why you loved Barbara.
