Honor Our Veterans

[IHL]

</IMG><img align=left textalign=top hspace=5 vspace=5 src="http://www.ihateliberals.com/pages/images/memorialsmall.jpg"></img>I wish I had a staff of writers so I could keep up with all the things I want to write about, so I apologize to all the veterans to whom I should have already said "Thank You" via this site. As a veteran myself, I will always have great respect for those that have served their country. This day is a day for remembering those brave men and women who gave their lives in war. Veterans Day is a tribute to all that served, both living and dead. Memorial Day is dedicated to the memory of all war dead. These people paid the ultimate price to defend America. Without their sacrifice our lives would be very different.

Contrary to many liberals who see the death of Americans in war as Americas failure, I see our dead soldiers as certainly a tragedy, but also as symbol of brave men and women who know that freedom isn't free. The vast majority of those that died in battle answered their call to battle willingly. The vast majority volunteered to be there.

I will speak for everyone who posts on this site - "Thank you to our servicemen and woman who died in war. We honor you on this day."

And for anyone who doesn't agree with that statement, you would be advised to keep those feelings to yourself.



As I did on Veterans Day, I would like to quote the words of Toby Keith who so eloquently describes my feelings:
And I will always do my duty no matter what the price
I've counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice
Oh, and I don't want to die for you
but if dyin's asked of me
I'll bear that cross with honor
'cause freedom don't come free

I'm an American soldier, an American
beside my brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand
When Liberty's in jeopardy, I will always do what's right
I'm out here on the front line
Sleep in peace tonight
American soldier, I'm an American soldier

Giving up on the U.S.


I found this sickening letter in my local paper.
I am ashamed they posted it today.

I too, would like to send a thank you and God bless to all the servicemen/women past and present.

It is because of you, that we are free today



I am not going to memorial services this year, as I did for many years. I, a veteran, do not want to listen to politicians telling me how wonderful this country is. Personally, I have given up on this country. It's just a mean-spirited, right-wing, pseudo-religious aristocracy! Not all, but enough to poison this experiment in democracy.

Do we, the working people -- the majority -- really want a country run by and for corporations, the wealthy and religious fanatics? Think about it.

I bet HC is having a good time at a cookout while celebrating our fallen soldiers.

I would also like to extend my thanks to all of our soldiers, and appreciate the sacrifice they made and are making in the name of America, freedom, and democracy.

What a bullshit journalist. First of all, the "corporations" are percieved as some kind of evil made up of wealthy and super-religious fanatics. The so-called "evil corporations" all started out as small mom and pop businesses. Because they did business well, they grew and eventually became what they are today. The libs make it sound like one day GE just appeared out of nowhere and was automatically a global enterprise. The problem with liberals is that they think that if a business succeeds and grows into a corporation, it's bad. Simply, the left is pissed off at success, that's what it is. Corporations are made through decades of hard work and determination.
And the libs try to say that corporation workers are some kind of non-human, loveless, family-lacking robots. Almost every corporation worker I meet is married, has a family, and has a middle-class life. They are some of the nicest people I have ever met.
I support each and every soldier who is serving or has ever served our country. Our freedom, our right to be successful in business, would not be possible had it not have been for these brave men and women. They decided (yes that's right, decided, so shut up Michael Fat-Ass Moore) to put their lives on the line so that millions don't have to. The thought that men and women deliberately go into harms way to protect people is just wonderful. Thank You

"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived."
-George S. Patton Absolutely true. Thanks for sharing that. It's perfect.

words can't even express my gratitude to the men and women who have dedicated their time and espesially to the ones who gave their lives for you and I too be able to let us sit here and discuss our opinions it is as john adams said, "I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce, and agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain."

god bless them

You know, I thought about this site on Memorial Day. I thought of all of the liberals that just cannot bring themselves to honor those who gave their lives for our country in a proper and dignified way. I thought of how liberals seem to have the need to throw in some cheap little jab during a time when we should all pull together to remember those that have served and paid the ultimate price for the freedom we all love.

This is a little late here, but I want to thank all who have served our country. Thankyou IHL for your service. I would also like to thank Captain Neil Bynum USAF, whose POW/MIA bracelet I wore for many years as a young girl. I wore it again this Memorial Day in honor of his memory and his service, and I also posted his bio where others could read about him. Captain Bynum's plane was shot down over Laos, and although there was evidence that he and the pilot were alive on the ground, they were never returned alive, nor were their bodies recovered. This might seem strange, but all of these years later, I still feel the connection to Neil that I felt as a kid. It was as though he was my brother who was missing.

Captain Bynum may have never returned home, but this ordinary American never has forgotten him or his saccrifice. Thankyou Neil.
