You are correct believing in the importance of getting the "other side" of the story out.
Mom couldn't see well by then.
I couldn't see very well by the time I arrived at this section of you post. God Bless your family and sending continued prayers for your wonderful sons.
What a treat for you to be able to meet President Bush. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Your sons are fortunate to have parents who honor their service. I'll never understand parents who spit on their children's graves to promote a misguided agenda. Thank your sons for their service, and thank you for helping to make that service count for something important.

Keep in mind that she is dishonoring her son and that he would be ashamed of her. You are correcting that injustice which, in turn, honors her son for her.
God Bless You, Your Sons, George Bush and the USA!
God bless the Sheehan woman too!
However, this woman has me steaming mad! She is denigating her son's sacrifice and nobility. She is helping our enemies her son fought. She is fueling the fires of our internal enemies also. Did I hear right that she said completely opposite things re: meeting Bush right afterwards than what she's saying now? She's lying and is now a pawn for the anti-war movement. I hate to say something bad about a mother who gave her son for this most noble of causes, but I believe she's getting paid for this. How can she say Bush killed her son. Terrorists did! I heard her son's father said the son joined enthusiastically and believed in the cause - contrary to her statement.
THANK YOU for your post! You are right that the world needs to hear more stories like yours!
((((((((((armymarinemom))))))))))) Thank you for sharing..and I thank your sons for serving our country.
What a heartwarming story. Thank you for sharing. Please pass along my thanks and prayers to your sons and all their brothers in arms. Also, thank you for the sacrifice that you are making.
W truth bump
Thanks, I can barely see to type.
Nice post and photos. Thank you.
God bless you and your sons armymarinemom. The whole story about Sheehan stinks. I'm sorry she lost her son but she's letting herself be used. We had two sons over there when the war kicked off. One in the reserves but serving with the 101st in Mosul and another flying in B-1's and for her to disrepect their service makes Mrs ladtx and I furious. Thanks for the story.
That was beautifully written. Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you for starting this thread....but most of all thank you for sharing your three sons with our country. I know these families who have lost their sons and daughters deserve a lot better than the rhetoric Cindy Sheehan is spewing all over the media. We need to keep alive the true spirit of our military and the job they do and your story is perfect example of what needs to be out there for all to hear.
Thank you again and God Bless you and your family.......
Fantastic post. Thanks for sharing it. I too met the President years ago, as he campaigned, and had my picture taken with him. It was not military-related, but he was very warm and direct, and made me feel very special, returning my compliment, when I rather gushed and told him how excited I was to meet him. He seemed truly grateful to all of us for coming to see him. He was "folks."
Thanks All
Those of us military families who actually SUPPORT the military know exactly how this Commander in Chief feels about the sacrifice of his troops, and know that this woman is a horrible liar, using her son to make a leftist political point.
And anyone else watching knows how he feels too.......
Thanks again, armymarinemom!
If we don't give awards for best vanity, maybe we should start. That was the most touching story I've read in ages. The pics are great too. God bless your sons.
