Hey all, visiting the Atlanta area this thursday through saturday - if any freepers live close by, would love to meet. Freepmail me. CGVet58

40 years ago, you answered the call of your country with heads held high. Young and full of American promise you were, off to fight against tyranny in a far off land for someone you'd never met. You endured the hell that is War, fighting with honor and victory even as your friends fell by your side. You did it for those fallen brothers, for the South Vietnamese who could not fight, most of all for your children so they wouldn't have to fight in their time. You came home to a country who's people were torn by that war,...

Dear Mr. President, first off, Thank You(!!!) for your dedicated and courageous service to our country. Our prayers are with you and family, with our military and all others who serve in the fight against tyranny, and most of all, for all who cherish freedom and are willing to fight for it. Sir, you'll be debating your opponent again tonight; know that we are among millions who stand with you. There's an old saying that seems to be more true today than ever: "you anger a Conservative by telling him a Lie; and a Liberal? By telling him the TRUTH."...

quick question - I've tried getting the darned thing fm C-Span, but the link hasn't been working all day. Can anyone help a Freeper out here? tx, CGVet58

Missed this part of the Funeral - does anybody have the text yet, and if so, could you please post it? Many thanks, CGVet58

Just a quick polling - the abu ghraib leftist assault and subsequent Berg murder have taken up the news lately - but has there been any item of interest regarding Mansoor's closed door testimony? While on the topic, I've thought that the leftist media - knowing their great talent for changing the subject by attacking the right as a distraction - could have overplayed the prisoner issue to deflect any inquiries about Ijaz. They'd figure we'd forget, eh? Juan

Just a quick request on details of this interview. I've been scanning FR this morning for feedback, no joy so far. TX CGVet58

Comments on todays MTP interview with the President

VDH has written a powerful statement which I present to you here; italics &/or bold typeface, as well as parenthesized comments, are my own additions for emphasis: The Paradoxes of American Military Power; Strange new guidelines about the way we fight. Critics now fault an American military that ripped apart Saddam Hussein's army from Kuwait to Kurdistan in three weeks for its apparent inability to restore civilization in the sixth months after the demise of Saddam Hussein's 30-year nightmare. It seems to mean little that fewer combatants have been killed in two years of fighting than were lost in an...

hey all, Am starting this thread to share things that I read which just hit home. Passionate... Succinct... Pithy... Revealing... any and all like discoveries are welcome, just as long as they satisfy one criteria: that they reveal the Truth. The following is from Townhall.com, Ben Shapiro: "...Democracy, according to the left, means only part-time democracy: It's democracy when people vote for us; it's a threat to democracy when they vote against us. It is no coincidence that fascism in the 20th century sprang from socialism. Socialists and the modern-day left feel that they have the only Truth. If democracy...

As we gather our thoughts together in memory and prayer, let us remember those who have left us, for their families and friends, and for our brave Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen on the front lines. The below comments were given by Judge William Young to the "Shoe Bomber" upon sentencing. Read them, and feel the deep well of strength in our Nation embodied in his words: January 30, 2003 United States vs. Reid. Judge Young: Mr. Richard C. Reid, hearken now to the sentence the Court imposes upon you. On counts 1, 5 and 6 the Court...
