Read all the way down and remember the courage of those who have served. Then fire off a note to your representatives.

2. Veterans and Bloc Voting
Veterans haven't voted as a bloc for 50 years, and it's probably a good thing for the Democrats that they don't. The veterans' service organizations routinely endorse Republicans.

5. Hey, Patriot

The link worked fine for me (after a couple modifications -- I'm completely lost on that "cut and paste" stuff). When I put in "html," I only got an error msg.
Strange. Hope all is well with you, regardless.

Served, US Army (Signal Corps), 1974-76. Earned a lowly National Defense Service Medal (like everyone else).

4. Well
Considering what is going on right now, looks like the pendulum might swing the other way. How about we give it a BIG push!

6. Thanks for this link John
It comes in handy for all the Repubs around my office that like to slam Clinton as well as pointing out how full of shit they are about supporting the troops.

7. Doing my part for a better America
As Knight of the Star says above, it's time we give this thing a push.

Though I'm not the biggest Clinton fan here (more an LBJ liberal), I will say this: he truly likes and respects people and that includes the veterans of wars past and, alas, future. Maybe Mr Clinton didn't serve in the military, but he sure as hell didn't stick a knife into the backs of the guys who did. For that, I thank him.
