Ben had mentioned to me how wonderful it was to have this opportunity to offer family time to this service member and his family.
I tell you, Ben would move heaven and earth to help our troops. I am thankful for patriots such as Ben.

His standard day involved working with a unit of the Iraqi National Guard to go out on patrols. He says the ones who believe in a free Iraq are among the bravest men he has ever worked with. "They don't even look for cover when the shooting starts," he says. "They just shoot it out until either they or the bad guys are dead." Out of the ten best ones in the unit, all ten have been murdered by the terrorists.Bump for valor and freedom.

Tears came to his eyes when he told me that.

His wife cries when she hears him talk about going back to Iraq after his leave, which he did on February 5.Military spouses who stay home and support their soldier's decision to fight and stick with their unit deserve just as much admiration as those in the field.
Ben Stein, telling it like it is.

I wish I were rich. I would love to take every single family and give them a vacation. There is just NO way to explain to them how grateful we are. I do what I can, but it's so small.

God bless Mr. Ben Stein...a wonderful man by all accounts.

FNC is running a show tonight hosted by John Gibson that addresses the Hollywood bias. Ben is featured as a critic of his neighbors. Surely worth watching.
