THE REPORTER COVERING THE EVENT SAID SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT OF: "And we shouldn't leave out the fact that a counterprotest was held this morning at the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial, where activists gathered to show their support for President Bush and possible military action." A clip was then shown of a man wearing a Vietnam-era USMC combat helmet, stating that while he did not WANT war, he felt military action was the only way to combat past and future attacks on America. A man in the background held up a bumper sticker saying "Blood for Oil." There was no mention of the FreeRepublic.com or MOVEOUT! organizations being the organizers of the antiantiwar event.

MSNBC must be getting really desperate if they show voices that oppose the MSNBC political agenda.

hno thanks for posting this great photo of a POed marine. As I was corrected years ago by a friend and a marine, there are no former Marines. Once a Marine, they are all ways Marines!

Norm for your enjoyment!

Just a nitpick - - there really are no "former" Marines, except that small handful which has gone on to somehow disgrace their uniform and their country.

Semper fidelis,

Norm, here is an excellent artilce by Lance Corporal Joel Kernodle:


Joel Kernodle's 'Call To Arms'

Joel Kernodle, spokesman for MOVEOUT! (Marines and Other Veterans Engaging Un-American Traitors) sent this announcement out to fellow U.S. Marine Corps Vietnam combat veterans. Kernodle, who served in Vietnam in 1967as a marine lance corporal, said anti-war protestors have taken excerpts from his memo " out of context" in order to defame and attack his organization's mission.


HEAR YE!!! HEAR YE!!! A CALL TO ARMS!!!


"Uncle Sam Wants YOU" is something most of us remember. Many of us answered the call. There are literally millions upon millions of living war veterans who selflessly defended freedom and America and our families and fellow countrymen.


Over thirty years ago, the defenders of a free world fought a new kind of war. It was a war without a front, a war without a demonstrable support for it's heroic fighters, but with a ferocious enemy back home capturing the media, college campuses, the entertainment industry, many of our own elected representatives, and the attention of the leaders of a militarily soundly defeated North Vietnamese Army and it's communist allies, to whom said enemy back home, the radical left, gave aid and abetment to.


All of the veterans of that conflict remember the vitriolic "welcome home," and the discrimination against them, and the name-calling and vile shunning from much of the very people they fought so bravely for.


NEVER AGAIN!!!


United States Marine Corps combat veterans of the Vietnam War have initiated an offensive; a war, if you will, against the stance and arrogance of the leftist radical movement. These vile traitors, sympathetic to the enemies of this nation have again, after thirty years, risen their ugly heads, Phoenix-like, to aid and abet our enemies. As before, they are demonstrating, trying to present, with the help of the liberal media, a false impression to the citizens and politicians of America, and the world, of a popular opposition to the United States defending itself and waging war upon those bent upon it's destruction.


This is YOUR finest hour. Uncle Sam NEEDS you. Your "arms" are your willingness to help show the world the radical left is not going to be given the sole position of presenting the only voice of the will and wishes of our people; a false and noisy minority is all they are and ever have been.


Your "call" is to plan to join up with these Marines, and other patriotic Americans, and proceed to Washington, D.C. to be a needed member of our Righteous Demonstration against that of the leftist anti-war protestors. Noted media representative of the right have been notified we will be there to present and voice what we believe is still the position of the vast majority of Americans.


Time is very short. You may have to make a sacrifice of your time, travel expense, and the comfort of your home in front of the television on which you will be seeing the left once again doing their thing. Please, PLEASE, do not allow them to do it unopposed. YOU are needed!!!


The leftist demonstration/march will begin with a gathering on the west side of the White House, and will proceed to the U.S. Navy Yards about four miles to the southeast. You should simply request information, or any questions you may have about anything back to the source of this letter having been e-mailed or sent to you. This letter ... this PLEA for "militia members" in a fight against those bent upon the destruction of our country and way of life ... is being sent to many, many places. The total distribution will be unknown to anyone. Because of that, none of us could know the magnitude of participation.


It IS known, however, that the United States Marine Vietnam combat veteran who wrote this letter, will, if necessary, stand for his nation, our loved ones, our way of life, and THE TRUTH, along with a small band of his brothers, ALONE AGAIN, if necessary but hope not, in Washington D.C., at 0900 at the "Brothers of Nam" statue near The Wall, January 18, 2003.


Semper Fidelis

Joel Charles Kernodle

God bless these beloved PATRIOTS who take a stand out in the cold, despite the taunts and jeers of the leftist scum. Hopefully, the American public will see the so-called "anti-war" demonstrators for what they are - enemies of freedom who hate everything upon which our free republic was founded.
