That goes for our family too! We just believed in this cause and these men, so deeply, that it was a no brainer. No one in our family was ever politically involved, other than our "vote". This time around, my family was found on a major intersection, on Saturday afternoons, waving signs heralding the Swift Boat Vets and POW's message. We passed out bumper stickers (SINK KERRY SWIFTLY) and talked to anyone who would listen about why John Kerry could not be our President. We bought the book, "Unfit for Command" and the DVD "Stolen Honor", passed them around to undecideds and even some DEM's. All in all, it was a fantastic lesson and profoundly life changing experience for all of us. No one in my family will ever take their "vote" for granted again, I can tell you that.
Thanks again to all you veterans who paid for this privilege, with your blood, sweat, and tears. Our gratitude is eternal.

"Maybe the contribution fund should be kept open, in order to defend John O'Neill if Kerry sues him for libel..."
Your probably right, unfortunately. I can think of no one I'd rather help with lawyer fees. John O'Neill is the face of these "hero's" and has our undying respect.

The best defense is a good offence. I would be more then happy to contribute to the fund to prosecute John Kerry.

Thanks you!!!!! |
Well, because of my dh disabilities and my needing to care for him we live on a "fixed income" so I could not send any money to the RNC or the SVPT. It really bothered me a lot that I couldn't so I prayed for the RNC, Pres. Bush and the SVPT.......and have been writing my butt off here to help make a small contribution.  |

Thank you doll for your prayers that were heard and answered. We are all called to do what we can when our creator God lays a burden on our hearts.

I belong to an online network that works at getting mail and packages out to the deployed troops.
When I first started reading through the message traffic and the databases of those in need, I broke down and cried. Unit of eight - gets very little mail, extended on station for four months. Young man lost his mother, who was the only one writing to him. Young woman, no family or friends to provide support from home. Platoon, little mail, no American snack foods available, still on MRE's. No dining facilities.
"God, there are too many! I can't even begin to meet these needs! I can only do ten or twelve packages and about fifty cards, right now!"
But, someone wrote something that day that gave me a whole new outlook. In fact, I had it written on a sticky on the edge of my monitor...
"If your hands are busy or too full, God will just use someone else's."
From each of us, what we could do, to the group that ended up being the biggest weapon in the anti-Kerry-campaign arsenal.
And it worked.
As Toby Keith sings, "It's all right, and it's all good."
