Something currently making the email rounds. It certainly looks authentic, however, I picked it up from another forum.

Quote:
Senator Kerry

November 1, 2006

Damn you. You are a bumbling idiot. My son, Cory, left the Computer Engineering Program at West Virginia University , a superlative educational institution, to volunteer to serve in the United States Marine Corps. He made it to Recon in less than one year, completing over a dozen schools, finishing with top scores in every single one of them. Cory, along with every Recon Marine, was/is a brilliant young man. They all volunteered - there is no draft as there was when you were in the Armed Forces. Cory, along with 3 other Recon Marines, died as the result of an IED explosion in May, 2006. These men, along with their peers, are superior in intellect. How dare you dishonor them by your careless words. You are a stupid, self-absorbed, fool.

I am not speaking as a member of any political party - in fact, I support more democrats at this juncture than republicans. But I loathe the disdain you display for my son and those whose magnificent service was given for something they held so dear to their hearts - freedom.

I pray that your political future is doomed. You are a detriment to every democrat with whom you associate. If in deed, your words were, as you say, intended as a joke, then you are heartless. My son's life is certainly more than a joke. He and these almost 3,000 young men and women who have died with him, are much more valued and loved than to be used as pawns in your own petty political pundits.

You were not misunderstood. You were clearly heard and understood by us all. You were on national television. You are utterly disrespectful of our sons and of us, their families. I will work tirelessly to bring you down. You discredit every member of the Armed Forces. Not only are these troops more savvy than ever before in history, so are their commanding officers, many of whom have advanced educational degrees. You, John Kerry, are nothing but scum. Spare us from the further desecration of our troops and the superlative military minds that truly do serve our nation. Remove yourself from the limelight and step down from office, NOW.

VERY sincerely,

Mrs. Danna Swain Palmer
Proud Mom of Fallen Marine, Cpl. Cory Leonard Palmer, USMC, Recon, May 10, 1984 - May 6, 2006

West Virginia University, School of Computer Engineering 2006, Voluntarily withdrew with excellent grades to serve in the United States Marine Corps, December 13, 2002.

CC: The Honorable Senator Robert Byrd, West Virginia

The Honorable Joseph Biden, Delaware

The Honorable Thomas Carper, Delaware

The Honorable Congressman Mike Castle, Delaware

Commandant Michael Hagee, USMC

Commandant Charles Krulak, USMC, Ret.

West Virginia University, President

It appears to have first been written on FreeRepublic by Mrs. Palmer. Searching, I did find her sons Obituary as well as a Guestbook for well wishers to comment.
