In the last segment on Laura Ingraham, she had on a Marine sergeant named Josh from Iraq who was answering questions. What a great segment.
At the end, Laura asked if he wanted to say something to his family. He told Mandy and Jenna I love you, and said he won't be there for Christmas, but --
"This year Santa is wearing desert camouflage and delivering freedom to Iraq."
It was one of the great heartwarming moments ever on talk radio. Laura said it gave her chills. Josh also said that he and his guys realize the politicians are just being politicians, and they are not going to let it get to them. He is from Murtha's hometown, and his family knows him. They respect him but disagree on his position.
Merry Christmas, Josh.

After the plugs I gave a few days ago, I doubt that I'll be on for awhile. :)

You'll take notice that the Blessed SOB was a US Marine!
Dan Daly and Chesty Puller are somewhere beaming that the Marine Corps is still the Marine Corps.

Play it again please before you close. I usually have you on the computer and Laura on the radio, but I couldn't access the stream until a few minutes ago.
