Kristinn,
I know I was an add on and will do the rally proud. I took an extra day of vacation time to prepare. Of course, I will be speaking from a veteran's point of view - all veterans - not just Marines. This is important to me because my cousin, another Marine, will be among the anti-war protesters on Saturday. He has no choice as he cannot leave his appointed place of duty at Panel 32W - Row 027. Roger Charles Nesbit was a Private First Class with Fox Company, 2nd Battalion, 9th Marines, 3rd Marine Division and was killed in action on 13 February 1969 in the Quang Tri Province. He participated in Operations Dawson River and Dewey Canyon and recieved the Bronze Star for helping save his fellow Marines when killed.
His mother, Mary Jane, wrote this poem to him on the first anniversary of his death.
Just a year ago today, my son, you left this lowly earth
So far from perfect - yet who can judge her worth
Beset with inner turmoil - so torn apart with strife
I only hope that in the end, dear, she's worthy of your life
You gave your life so gallantly - standing on that hill
You and thousands like you - was it God's will?
My country, right or wrong, was your philosophy
If that was good enough for you son, then it has to be for me
Thank you DC Chapter for letting me speak - it is quite an honor and I have cherished the time we have all spent together since I first met you guys.

A bump and a prayer for C-SPAN coverage.

To: Dave Dilegge
Considering what we are protesting..........anti-Americanism.......it is appropriate that you speak. Your past actions and words have proven you to be a TRUE American. Go get em Dave. Looking forward to it.
