i think veterans deserve all the respect tht can be given b/c they risk there lives 2 give us freedom n every moment over in Iraq they miss a special moment with there family friends and children. Why shouldnt we give them respect? We should honor them. We shouldnt be like the pple wen the soilders came bck 4rm vietnam n spit on em thts just F@$* up honor n respect is wat they deserve!!! If u see a soilder in uiform go up 2 tht person look the in the eye n say thanks 4 serving our nation and u do not know how much tht will mean 2 them thts all i got 2 say

Skye,

I've often entertained the same thoughts...

I served right alongside you, Sawdust!
You were the one who kept cowering behind me, crying for mommie.

Butch, this is a unique, but necessary way to highlight what liberals mean when they claim to 'support' our troops. Have you considered the troops they support are not those of the US or Coalition forces?

For whatever it's worth, I put up another tribute to veterans on my blog. I made a simple "thank you graphic" from a picture I took of part of a memorial to Vietnam vets located in Havana, Florida. Feel free to borrow it for your blog if anyone would like.

Yeah, the pass on FDL was the right move. I'm hanging it up for the evening. Keep the good fight going, but have some other fun tonight too!

Will check back in tomorrow.

Oh - I just noticed the comment from the guy from Sawdust Head, or whatever. I read it earlier but now noticed the Sawdust tie-in. Geeez, he sounds like such a "Big Tent", fair and balanced Liberal...not.

Typical Left Winger - unable to grasp any iota of common decency to agree to disagree. Ah...such is the wayward Insane Liberal Clown Posse. Again, no surprise on my part, or I'd imagine yours either.

Take care, have a fine evening.

Dave,

I saw that post from firedoglake earlier today but thought it was so stupid and utterly inappropriate that I passed on it.

The search/battle continues...

"Code Pink - nothing, of course. Just old dried up lesbians..."

Oh...coffee hit the keyboard and the screen! LMAO!

FireDogLake had a post about Veterans Day but, like Smirking Chimp, it was full of biased invective and anger. Surprised? Not so much!

Mr Higgins,

I have no delusions...

And thank you for your service.

We didn't have any Chicken Hawks among us, so I missed your acquaintance.

Enjoy your delusions.
