Bruce Willis had girl scouts of america open up their factory (or supplier) just to deliver 30k cookies for the troops out of season. When I saw Willis humbled by the warriors in that room, it gave me hope for our future in media as well as the great warriors to be who watch the media.
Good stuff!
Bruce Willis reminds me of John Wayne, WWII.
Lets remember to embrace those who support us in time of war as opposed to those who wish us failure.
A Patriot is a Patriot.
Some shed blood, while others make sure its not in vain. Always remember that!

| Quote: | Bruce Willis Offers Million Dollar Bounty for Osama or Zarqawi
By CK Rairden
Nov 12, 2005
Tough guy actor Bruce Willis apparently wants to chip in on the bounties that are now on the heads of Islamofascists Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri or Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
A report to be published Saturday says that Demi Moore's ex will pony up a million cash in small unmarked bills (okay I made that part up) to any civilian who turns in the terrorist scum.
Here's proof that someone is watching MSNBC.
Page Six grabs the item from MSNBC's "Rita Cosby: Live and Direct" this week.
Bruce Willis is such a die-hard patriot that he's offering $1 million to any civilian who turns in terror kingpins Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri or Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. The hairless Hollywood he-man announced his bounty offer on MSNBC's "Rita Cosby: Live and Direct" this week.
Willis also revealed he was in talks to make a movie about the Deuce Four, the soldiers whose heroic exploits have been chronicled by embedded blogger Michael Yon.
Willis complained about media coverage of the war:
"I am baffled to understand why the things that I saw happening in Iraq, really good things happening in Iraq, are not being reported on."
.....................***
Good man - many of us wonder where those reports are as well. |
nice gesture, even tho there's already a 25M bounty, however it's the message he's sending --
