A Message From GySgt Krueger

March 30, 2007

A word from [Gunnery]Sergeant Krueger, USMC, to Speaker Pelosi:

How can you even think of pushing forward legislation to set a withdrawal date for US forces from Iraq? Do you know how much you embolden the insurgency here in Iraq? YOU ARE JEOPARDIZING THE LIVES OF US SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN WITH YOUR ACTIONS. You and your fellow Democrats are causing the Al Qaeda supported insurgency to use more catastrophic attacks against us and Iraqi forces. You will see more SVBIED’s with chlorine gas, more VBIED’s against civilians and security forces every time you and other Democrats open your mouths. You will have to live with yourself and try to sleep at night knowing all the defeatist propaganda you have spewed forth is nothing more than ammunition for Islamic extremist groups around the world and more US deaths. The ! unsuspecting people who support you know nothing of what goes on over here; you fill their heads with nonsense and talk of pullout to appease them. The only thing that will happen is the establishment of an extremist Islamic state where sharia law is the law of the land and no one is safe.

Sunni Moslems here are coming to our side and joining forces with the government to defeat Al Qaeda(AQI) here in Iraq, but they need our help and they need us to stay. I have spent the last 7 months(3rd tour) in Iraq. I have watched Iraqi citizens pick up weapons and form militias in areas to join forces with Iraqi police/Army. Common citizens who fight and die because we are standing next to them. Not cutting and running or talking of withdrawal. This started after the surge forces the President sent here arrived. We have lost Marines also and it hurts more than you will ever know but we have made a commitment to these people. And I for one will not abandon them and I have of a platoon of Marines who feel the same. I have no control over what happened in 2003 and why we invaded Iraq. That is another discussion, but we are here and they need our help to rid their country of these terrorists. Yes eventually we will leave but we need to do a phased withdrawal without a timeline. At least without a timeline that is published for the world to know. The citizens of Iraq need to see some solidarity in our government, Democrats and Republicans coming together and supporting our President in this war. There is a middle ground here for both parties, you all need to come together and work towards a solution. What we don’t need is more theatrics and clashes between the parties. AQI loves to see that it causes them to do more attacks and continue with the murder and intimidation campaign against Iraqi citizens.

Someone needs to step forward and bring the two parties together. Meet and talk about what you all can do and come to an agreement on the war. Like I said before we need a unified front to present to the world on the Iraq war. The Iraqi people need a morale boost, they need to see we are behind them and we will support them and not cut and run. The insurgency needs to see our resolve is strong and we will endure and defeat them. Extremist Islamist terror groups use our perceived weakness against us. They misunderstand our kindness for weakness. Weakness shown to the world brings more recruits to their cause; it causes more civilian deaths and violence.

Please I implore you to not push this agenda. I have watched you on television and you seem to be using this as a steppingstone to further your political career. STOP!!! More is at stake here. Our countries word is on the line, my word to many Iraqi citizens is on the line. Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines lives are at stake. We know the risks and we face them daily. Don’t make our mission more difficult.

    Gunny Krueger,
    May I have your permission to use this letter in contacting other vets and supporters as I work to rally them in support of the Gathering of Eagles.
    Some people just do not seem to understand the situation on the ground in Iraq or the commitment of our brave troops to see this mission through.
    Please know that there are a lot of us, veterans and others, who honor and support you and your mission.
    God Bless You and All of our Troops

    This letter should be in every newspaper in the United States , We vets should try and get this posted in as many places as possible. The Defeatacrats and a few of the outher ones who had thir spines removed will be the end of our great country as a world power. Who can blame a country who does not stand with us in the furture after all we are getting a record of bailing out if it gets tough. I relize we are not suposed to be politicle but this is crazy and I for one know where the proplum lies. Gunny I wish we could fix this for you but many of your countrymen who would support you have thir heads stuck up thir ass, they are more involved in whos on American Idle than watching the progress of the surge. Hang tough Gunny Im not going to stop trying to get this message out.

    Gunny,

    Pelosi and the Dhimmicrat congress (as well as a few spineless and soulless Repubs)
    Do.Not.Care.About.You.Or.Your.War
    They care only about their own personal wealth and welfare, and believe in their tiny hearts that to further themselves they must appease the anti-war, pacifist liberals that seek to end war without any regard for the merit of said war or the inevitable consequences of defeat. They are fools. The people who support and vote for them are fools.

    I apologize for repeating such disheartening information to an American soldier. It makes my heart hurt.

    But that is the reality. Until the American people take a stand against the idiot liberals currently ruining this country, defeat is our future.

    You and your fellow warriors are doing great work, we know this is truth. Great work must also be done here, in our homeland, to change the direction of the political winds. That work must be done by We the People.

    Eagle Up, people.

  9. huroc on March 30th, 2007 11:10 am

    Here is the sad part. These brave men and women can send all the letters and emails to our reps. But the bigest disappointment, they won’t listen. They only wish to appease the far left voters and the enemy. Or they will say, that those that are saying what the Gunny said are a small minority of service members. Remember Polosi went to Iraq and saw something completely different from what those with their boots on the ground are seeing. Hecks bells, remember cut and run Murtha won’t even talk to those that have served. He does not have the guts or the integrity to do it. Hey send him a white feather. Maybe then he might want to meet with those who had their boots on the ground. One wonders what the voters where thinking in this last election cycle. Now the left has control to both the house and the Senate. God help us now. But thank God for those that are standing up to the Polosis and the Murthas.

  10. Dave Jordan on March 30th, 2007 11:11 am

    SEMPER FI GUNNY!!! Thank you for the service you and your team do in covering our backs. Your articulatly (I hope I spelled that right!!) worded letter to the “Dragon Lady” was right on target. If the people of this country, and these idiot political hacks, would just look at what happened to the Vietnamese people, and most especially our Montagnard brothers in arms, they just might not be so hot to cut and run. They make a lot of noise about how they care about life and express concern about how we are the “bad guys”, well, just wait and watch what happens when we leave!! “They ain’t seen nothin yet!!” I cried at what was done to the people of Viet Nam who helped us and It is going to happen again because of a bunch of self-serving SOB’s who care more about their own political agenda than they do about any of you people or this great nation of ours!! This goes for BOTH PARTIES!! GOD Bless all of you and be careful out there.

    I am sending Sgt Krueger’s letter to my Cong and Seators by e-mail, by FAX, by US Mail. Sen Webb and Cong Moran have voted to withdraw and lose. I know Sgt Krueger’s comments are true, it happen to us Vietnam Vets.

  13. TJ on March 30th, 2007 2:18 pm

    WAY TO GO GUNNY! We need more letters like this from those who will directly feel the impact of the potentialy disasterous decisions being made in Congress. Keep the faith - there are many, many of us here stateside who are with you. Contrary to the position that so many of the dems take, that the people who are supporting the President and our involvement in the war do not have a personal stake in the fight, i.e. no close, loved ones serving, I am a 24 year Air Force vet and my daughter is serving with the Sea Bees and has already done one tour in the ’sand box,’ so that DOES make me qualified to speak! Please, Please, Please Eagles - let’s not loose the momentum!

    A fantastic letter by Sgt. Krueger!
    I am just an old ex Army medic (non-combatant) plush duty at Walter Reed and then a mechanized infantry unit in Germany.
    Since 9/11, I have followed politics extensively. How the Dumocrats got voted in, is beyond all reason? Many voters had the wool pulled over their eyes!
    I now firmly believe we should not withdraw from Iraq, until the witch of Congress (aka Nancy Pelosi)can go shopping in downtown Baghdad, dressed in her chic Armani attire and tourism can take over from terrorism. Am I so wrong?

    So here’s the twist. We can lament that they won’t even READ his letter, or, we can spread his letter across the internet with OUR endorsements. There us a magic number that makes politicians worry. All we gotta do is ATTACK! Remember, whining and bitching didn’t win wars and it won’t now. Use your computer, hit copy and paste his letter, along with your endorsement, to the pols. Then, send his letter to everyone you know and ask them to support his letter and submit it to the pols. ATTACK! Only a fool thinks victory is achieved with defense.

  22. USMCmailman on March 30th, 2007 6:00 pm

    GOD Bless You Gunny!
    I wish I could be there with you, but they tell me I am to old to fight anymore. I was in Nam in 1968,with the 3rd Marine Division on the DMZ, and I know what you and the troops are doing. I wish our Country would wake up and realize how much you need our support! Not our Global Whining! If we don’t correct our past mistakes, we are destined to repeat them!
    What this country needs is more Veterans as politicians and fewer lawyers and draft dodgers!!

    A great piece from Ralph Peters.

    I’ll post it here for those who may have missed it.

    INVITING ATTACK
    TALK SURRENDER & OUR ENEMIES ACT

    By Ralph Peters

    Thanks, Speaker Pelosi.

    It’s amazing that Big Mediahasn’t made the obvious connection between the congressional Democrats long- promised move to hand over the keys to Iraq to al Qaeda and the decision by Iranian hardliners to bolster their position within Iran by grabbing those Brits.

    The Iranians didn’t even wait for the final vote count. The rhetoric in the wake of the turnover in Congress was sufficient to convince them that Washington is ready to bail out of Iraq. The extremists in Tehran want to push us out of the Persian Gulf, as well.

    President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his faction have been losing ground internally, but they hope a confrontation with the West will unite the people of Iran behind them. The Revolutionary Guards weren’t ready to take on U.S. forces directly, but they felt confident they could get away with grabbing Brits - and so far, they’ve been proven right.

    Iran’s hardliners watch our actions closely. Sometimes they read the smoke signals correctly, sometimes they don’t. They calculated that Prime Minister Tony Blair is now so weak that he wouldn’t dare retaliate. Furthermore, they figured that the Bush administration has been pushed onto the defensive by Congress and wouldn’t move to aid our main ally.

    What the coming days will hold depends upon the political algebra in Tehran and London, Washington and Baghdad, Brussels and even Moscow.

    But the one thing that cannot be disputed is that, without the congressional moves to impose a withdrawal date for U.S. forces in Iraq, the Iranian regime would never have grown so bold. In Middle Eastern warfare, a classic tactic has been to retreat in the face of strength, but to attack when your enemy withdraws or shows signs of weakness. That is exactly what the Iranians are doing.

    They’re doing something else, too: trying to drive an ever-deeper wedge between Shias and the West. Iran’s extremists portray the Great Satan America and our allies as the implacable foes of the Shia. But ever-fewer Iranian Shias buy it: Their lives have been ravaged by their own regime, not by satellite broadcasts of “Desperate Housewives.�

    But the Tehran tyrants have had more success on the parallel track: Convincing Westerners that all Shias are our enemies. This, in turn, makes it easier for Washington pols and lobbyists who’ve been bought by Saudi money to make the case that we should re-embrace the Sunni Arab dictators and demagogues who led us down the path to 9/11.

    The Dems on Capitol Hill pretend that setting a deadline for a troop withdrawal won’t even have serious consequences in Iraq. Yet the reverberations are already ringing through the entire region. Not only do Iran’s worst fanatics feel emboldened, but the Saudis whom President Bush has been trying to hug anew treat us like beggars.

    Speaking to the assembled leaders of the Arab world this week, King Abdullah declared that the U.S. troop presence in Iraq is “illegitimate.� Abdullah also dragged out the Palestinian issue again, damning Israel. Of course, the Saudis have always been willing to fight to the last Palestinian, while keeping the people of the West Bank and Gaza on starvation rations.

    Saudi money’s always available to spread hatred, but not to build world-class universities, hospitals or industries for the Palestinians.

    For good measure, our pal Abdullah deplored the violence in Darfur - for which he blamed “foreign interests,� suggesting that the aid agencies and international observers, not the Khartoum government, are to blame for the ongoing genocide. (It’s all Angelina Jolie’s fault!) Meanwhile, the Egyptian regime is reinforcing its despotism, while Syria’s looking at Lebanon and salivating again.

    Back in Iraq, the Dems’ “Contract With al Qaeda� undercuts the progress our troops have been making since the arrival of Gen. David Petraeus (the Dems tossed him the keys to the car, but won’t give him money for gas). For all too many politicians, our 2008 elections are more important than the fate of our soldiers or the Iraqi people.

    They’re doing all they can to guarantee failure. After a year of tragic setbacks, our new tactics in Iraq have brought real signs of progress. Ultimately, of course, that progress may come to nothing. Sunni assassins may succeed in reinvigorating the religious war with the Shia - who’ve behaved with restraint for the past few months.

    Success is never guaranteed in any war.

    But that’s no reason to guarantee failure. Threatening to cut off funding for our troops is simply despicable.

    The Republicans in this administration made unforgivable mistakes in the Middle East.

    Now the Democrats appear determined to do even graver damage. And they utterly refuse to consider the consequences of their actions.

    The Pelosi-Murtha Democrats won’t even confront the likely results within Iraq if we quit prematurely. As for considering the effect their duplicitous bills and votes have on the calculations of bad actors elsewhere in the Middle East, the Dems just shut their eyes and cover their ears.

    We’re in an appalling position where our enemies in Tehran, Riyadh, Khartoum and Damascus, and in al Qaeda’s compounds in Waziristan, are thinking ahead with greater clarity than our elected officials in Washington. This isn’t about politics.

    It’s about the fate of hundreds of millions of human beings. It’s about our national security. It’s about the defense of civilization.

    It’s about the lives of our men and women in uniform. And it’s about the 15 Brits held somewhere in Iran because the U.S. Congress signaled that there will be no penalties for attacking those who fight in freedom’s cause.

    Posted, linked and blasting the hell out of this letter to as many as I can.

    If we can get this and any others like it as sort of a massive blog burst, the media will have no choice but to print it also.

    Just an idea.

  28. Doug Hastings on March 30th, 2007 7:30 pm

    Thank you and all your friends and fellow servicemembers for your service and devotion to duty.
    Your letter reinforces in my mind that the Eagles next gathering should be at the dorrs of congress as soon as they return from their two week vacation.
    We must send a message loud and clear that the members of congress that voted to undermine the soldiers, “DO NOT SPEAK FOR US!”
    With yoour permission I will reprint your comments in the Vets To Washington Project monthly newsletter, and on my website.
    Thanks again for your service and God Bless you all.

  29. Ken Moore on March 30th, 2007 7:34 pm

    Nancy Pelosi and her gang could not care less about the safety of our troops or winning in Iraq. The Democrats are held hostage by the far left, hate America socialists who’s primary agenda is to destroy our country and turn it into a Marxist utopia, where only the party rules and freedom and democracy be damned. This ideology did not die with the fall of the USSR. It’s proponents are alive and well and have control of one of our two major political parties and control of a large portion of the media. Why would they care about bringing freedom to other countries when they are trying to undermine and destroy those ideals here in America. We must all understand that this battle goes far beyond Iraq and the war on terror and our enemies, both foreign and domestic are in it for the long haul and they are playing for keeps.

  31. Jim Harris on March 30th, 2007 8:25 pm

    Amen, Ken. You are so right on. It is important that we stop seeing these people as misled or the loyal opposition. Although it is easier to handle thinking that these people are just trying to get their power back, it is much more than that. Pelosi, Murtha the media et all care not about our troops. When they gleefully reported the 2000th fatality, they were only sorry that it wasn’t 20,000. These people are not the friends of America. They seek its destruction. And now that they own the congress, they are inflicting as much damage as they possibly can. If America doesn’t wake up, we will lose this country. Hopefully we can help to wake them up. With the fall of the USSR, we gained access to KGB records. Those records proved that Joe McCarthy was right, only he had underestimated the number of communists in government, media and education. Today, the numbers are much higher. The enemy within is every bit as dangerous as our foreign enemies. While our sons and daughters are fighting in the middle east and doing their job, we dropped the ball here, and have allowed America’s enemies to take over the congress.

    The Gunny writes:

    “….YOU ARE JEOPARDIZING THE LIVES OF US SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN WITH YOUR ACTIONS…..”

    “….. STOP!!!…”

    The troops shouldn’t be fighting a two front war; one in Iraq and one here at home. It is up to WE THE PEOPLE to protect Gunny Kreuger’s back. We are the rear guard and we must be the ones to stop the Democrats and the Communists, pro-terrorists, antimilitary and anti-American element in this country that is hell bent on abandoning our troops, the Iraqi people and the war on terror. They do nothing but aid, comfort and boost the morale of Gunny Kreuger’s enemy.

    If Gunny Kreuger’s words above don’t raise awareness of what’s at stake, nothing will. The GOE rally was a great start, but we must keep moving. 30,000 was a good beginning, especially considering the bad weather. But we must organize another rally, only this time with triple the numbers. And this time, it won’t be reactive but PRO ACTIVE! Someone above has the right idea. We must march to the very steps of the Capitol building and demand that they listen to hear our voices.

    The lives of our troops and the survival of our nation is at stake here. What more motivation do we need!?

    Lets get something started. Lets set a date and put out the call. Let us do something now!

  38. Papi-VA on March 31st, 2007 8:28 am

    There is no doubt the heart of every Eagle is in the right place and a solid victory was won for us in DC - but that victory has little reward if America is not aware of it. Only one major News outlet covered the GOE presence with any credibility – and that was FOX News. So even though we may have won a victory, most of America was hardly made aware of it.

    America is constantly flooded with news and instant knowledge as technology advances. The News we see and hear everyday can achieve instantaneous global influence. Politicians use the news for one priority - Reelection. If they achieve this goal, they may or may not provide benefit to the country, but the motive is the same; a seat in congress. To set their platform, they listen to polls and major media outlets to judge where America is at. They couldn’t care less about a couple hundred letters from constituents. They want to hear what the voice of America is and they think they get that from places like CNN and Fox News and Gallup Polls. However, anyone who has watched CNN and FOX news on the same night knows how radically different they report the same events.

    CNN constantly reports our effort in Iraq as hopeless, wrong, and immoral. If 100 soldiers are on the scene and one solder is against the war – they will interview that single solder and present his/her apathy as consensus of the majority. Civilian casualties caused by ruthless insurgents are shown every night with just enough slant on the story to make you think it was somehow America’s fault. CNN constantly demonizing our efforts to save Iraq and portrays the Administration as out touch with reality.

    Is there any wonder why so many Americans think it is hopeless and just want to “get out�? Is there any wonder why they do not know or understand what we do? If we want to achieve success in our commitment to our solders, the Iraq nation, and ultimately our Freedom – then we need to make the rest of America understand what we do. We must have media coverage and we must get our faces and our voices on the air. We need to carry our momentum forward – NOW! But this time maybe we should start our march at CNN Headquarters in Atlanta – let’s give those knuckleheads at CNN who think they have the voice of America, a dose of real America and the sounds of real American voices. I have no doubt this is one story FOX News would love to cover.

    By the time we got to Washington DC, over 100,000 strong, I guarantee America would understand and Americans would begin to “Wake Up�. We need to get up now and keeping pushing forward.

    Thanks “Gunny� for the freedom to print these thoughts.

  39. fantastique on March 31st, 2007 8:57 am

    Sorry, Serafinos, but military.com no longer supports our military. I was a member of that site from it’s inception over 7 years ago. It was created by three former military men who wanted a site where military members and their families could find support and camaraderie. It was also a site that had the largest data base of resumes from former military personnel which is why Monster.com, based in San Francisco, wanted so badly to buy it. They now charge thousands of dollars to corporations wanting to recruit former military personnel for the privilege of viewing those resumes.

    The original members sold it to Monster and its message boards, particularly the Point Counterpoint and the In The News forums have since become a haven for leftist moonbats, Moveon morons, Democratic Underground pinheads and various and sundry anti-American, antimilitary subversives.

    It didn’t take long for the pinheads to attack the honor and service of AD military and military veterans. When AD military and military veterans attempted to fight back they were subsequently banned from the site or put in “time out” until such time as they groveled to the new leftist moderators for permission to post again and promising to adhere to the new leftist owner’s standard of political correctness.

    That site no longer supports our military. It should be renamed “Antimilitary.com” because in truth, that’s what it has become. Most of the original military members of that site have left it to join other sites that DO support our troops and their mission.

  40. Serafinos on March 31st, 2007 9:39 am

    I understand your point, Fantastique, as I have been on those boards for days now. There are proud troop supporters on there. USAF mod for example, has been quite consistent in defending our President & putting facts out in the middle of it all. There are several anti-war on there, but our VETS are taking care of them as well.

    Example: ESPN article today is “General warned Bush about Tillman”. Majority are debunking the “title” & support Bush.

    Why does no one ever ask the question as to what would have happened if we never intervened and stopped Sad Sack in 1991? Kuwait, a 20th the size of Iraq has over 3/4’s the proven oil reserves of Iraq. Nothing needs to be said about Saudi…
    We could have walked over both Kuwait and Saudi in 1991, and then the anti-war idiots would have a decent bitch, perhaps? Maybe we should have…..?

    Nancy Pelosi is now ‘…running away to the Middle East..’ to PRETEND SHE IS DOING SOMETHING!
    She is one evil dudess…this is like going on vacation
    alone as soon as she hears one of her kids has the
    measels…! In fact the entire Liberal Democrat Party
    is very sick…!

    Dear Gunnery Sergeant Krueger:

    I’ve posted your comments on my blog as well, and I am planning to email your letter to the representatives and senators in my state. I’m from Michigan, so I doubt that Senators Levin or Stabenow will pay any attention, but Rep. Miller will.

    Thank you so much for your service in Iraq!! Please encourage your unit and tell them that what they see and hear on the news is not the whole truth. Please know that people are praying for you and for your mission - yes, be safe and come home, but more than safety, take courage as you fight the battles you face. Return with your shields or on them.

    God bless you!

    Semper Fi Gunny,

    I hope you realize that the Democrats of today are no different than the ones of the 60’s and 70’s only a little more Socialistic. If they would have had a little more backbone in congress in the 60’s, I know the American Warriors in Nam would have cleaned house and kept our allies in the south free and democratic but what do you do when you have your hands tied behind your back while fighting an armed conflict. It appears you are pretty much in the same boat over in Iraq. Kennedy and his ilk are the phariah of society and have shown nothing of any courage or class while they have had the pathetic eastern voters tied up with their false promises and now the parties on both liberal coasts are mostly a gathering of dried up bones who want to make believe they have the interests of the US at heart. Their ignorance is a profound statement to their lack of loyalty and spirit of being an American.
    Keep up the good work and I pray that God will protect you, your platoon and all the brave Warriors in Iraq.

    We really have to all call and email our congress also a letter to your local paper helps. We can not let what happend to us happen again, this conversation should not be going on in our country but with the fools we have in congress its something that we have to do. I truely belive the American people are not fools and they do not think so little of our armed forces that they will be party to a defeat. Its only those who are invested in a defeat to further thir own agenda who are praying for the death of our people, its only the John and Nancy crowd who have so much to lose if our troops win a victory and able to return home with thir heads held high.

    Semper Fidelis Gunny Krueger,

    From one former Marine to a current one, manythanks for your service and that of your Recon Marines. You guys are the best of the best and I’m glad you’re on our side!

    You expressed many of my feelings in your note to Pelosi. Your last line, unfortunately, reminds me that the ship has already sailed and the democrats have already done much damage. You know better than me since you’re there, will it take years to repair? I wonder when we can accuse them of treason that they have, IMHO, already committed. I’m sick of hearing that BS schpeel that they spew “how can you question my patriotism…”
    Yea, right.

  50. Trooper on April 1st, 2007 12:27 am

    Ok, I’m not here to piss anyone off, but I hear a lot of complaining, an Idea or two, but mostly preaching to the saved. Question is, what are we going to do about it? Could they ignore 50 to 100 thousand in DC? A march on congress not the pentagon and overwhelm DC with people. Paralyze the transit system for a day or two on non weekend days, while congress is in session. A “Sit In� if you will on congress, when they go to bitchin about trying to override Bushes veto. They want to shut down the war, and the budget, what ya’ll say we shut them down. No one could ignore our voice then. I challenge you!

    You weren’t going to let a handful of 60ties GI spitters destroy our monuments; don’t let them do what McGovern did to you. Stab you in the back. Are we going to let it happen again because we’ve got other things going on in our lives? Will there be anything left worth having if we don’t?

    Start the word, see what happens. We accomplished 30,000 in a few short weeks. 100,000 is not impossible if we can get some good press in the talk radio and other mediums.

    I like the idea of a sit in when congress is in session.

  53. TJ on April 1st, 2007 9:12 am

    One Hundred Thousand Patriots - Imagine what THAT would look like! Could CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX ignore us then? I don’t know about the ’sit in’ part, that seems to be more of a moonbat technique. How about instead of sitting in, we, 100,000 strong, politely demand to see our elected representatives, engage in a dialogue focusing on our assessment of their actions/inactions, and not leave until that happens? That would keep them busy for a while!

  54. Deborah on April 1st, 2007 9:43 am

    “One Hundred Thousand Patriots - Imagine what THAT would look like!”

    TJ, not “would”….Imagine what that WILL look like! :-)

    May God have mercy on the souls in Congress who accepted 40 pieces of silver to vote on a surrender bill written by the likes of those who chests swell with pride, as they attempt to sell out our brave troops for personal gain. Know in your hearts we love, and respect you, and look forward to shakeing your hand at a Geathering of Eagles event upon your return. God bless you all and your personal stand for freedom. For now Take Cover and Return Fire.You are the new breed of Vietnam Vets and your voice will be heard long after we hear Taps called over our graves

    hey everyone. check out http://www.operationamericarising.com/ for another support the troops opportunity this summer!

  58. Trooper on April 1st, 2007 3:49 pm

    I like the idea of operationamericarising.com it has a possibilities for local support, but the MSM will ignore it as always. We need something they cannot ignore. The “Sit-In� idea is a denial of service attack, tactic. Flood the system with people, create gridlock, shut down DC for a day or three with people holding flags, praising our troops and demanding NO STRINGS ATTACHED FUNDING & NO SURRENDER DATES!!!
    DC in gridlock for thousands of patriots demanding congress act responsibly, Imagine the shift of power.

    The month of May is designated as Military Appreciation Month.

  65. Softailoo5 on April 2nd, 2007 4:40 pm

    Gunny ,

    Pelosi is a stone cold bitch who is a wannabe General. She will never admit she is dead wrong. Her main goal is to humiliate the GOP. But,I have to tell you , you got it right. It’s the only way deal with Iraq.
    Also, you can believe we will stand by you and keep fighting back here. May 27 Rolling Thunder will be in Washington. They also have a permit for a pro-troop rally.
    If all the folks who supported The gathering of Eagles join up with the Rolling Thunder, the numbers will be so large the media will have acknowledge us.

  71. Jan Jean on April 4th, 2007 7:43 pm

    I am VERY proud of all of our Military and feel we NEED to get rid of the Democrate Leaders who do not use the brain that God gave them. Every time I see Polosi, Kennedy, Hilary and Harry Reid I really get sick .As far as I’m concerned they ARE part of the PROBLEM not the solution. In the future elections everyone needs to think for themselves and vote, not beleive everything they hear from the canidate. We need strong people running our government who truly know how to keep our country strong.We all need to pray for our troops and write as many letters to our congressmen and women as well as our senators TELLING them if they want to stay in office they need to support our troops and to WORK together with the other parties.Then we citizens need to write to our troops and let them know we support them.
    GOD BLESS America

    Your letter would a wonderful prelude to a book I am writing on American Liberalism. I hope, with your permission, I can use this letter to reference your duties as an United States Sgt. and the pasion that the military feels about its elected officials on the left side of the isle.

  74. Mrs. Lynda Derby on April 6th, 2007 9:12 am

    Dear Sir;

    I am a registered Democrat that comes from a strong, long line of devout Democrats. However, in the past couple of years, I have not voted my party but rather by who I feel was the lesser of the two/three evils. I am ashamed at what my party has become and more than that, I am ashamed at what the American people have become.

    My husband, son-in-law and son are all U.S. Marines. Both my husband and son-in-law are in the airwing; our son is in infantry. My husband, who retired 10 years ago this May, is currently in Iraq for the fourth time. We completely agree with you but the disenchanted side of me knows that your words will go on deaf ears. The polititians don’t care what the truth is or the reality of actions are - they just want votes.

    We need to be a stronger voice. We have thousands of service men world wide that need to speak up along with their families and let the American people know how THEY feel; perhaps then they will listen?

    God bless you! God Bless the Corps! God Bless AMERICA!

    Faithful Marine Wife/Mom

    Mrs. Lynda Derby, For over 40 years I have been saying that, If over 51% of voters registered Indenpendent it would change the face of poilitions. You saw what the Dem’s did to Sen Lebierman. And what the voters said. You know I mean. “Devout anything creates assumption”. We are waking up 45 million VETERANS, AND WE WILL BE HEARD. Give my best to your MARINES,,,,And support “Goe” SEMPER FI.

AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT 90% OF THE “moonbats & commies” THAT WERE THERE, ARE NOT PACIFIST!!!! THEY SUPPORT “fidel castro & hugo chavez” AND THE LIKE. ACTUALY,, “fidel castro & hugo chaves” AND THE LIKE SUPPORT them. OUR NUMBERS SCARED THEM SO BAD, “hanoi jane” DIDN’T SHOW, AND THAT WAS AFTER 8mo OF SAYING THAT THIS WAS THE ANNEVERSY OF her 1967 MARCH..SO COME TO “GoE 2″ AND SEE FOR YOURSELF.
