Honoring Heroes at the Holidays Tour

November 26 - December 16

Join Move America Forward for the “Honoring Heroes at the Holidays Tour” this November 26th - December 16th as we cross this nation holding pro-troop events in 40 cities across America to honor and salute the men and women of the U.S. military who will be thousands of miles away from their homes and families during this holiday season.


Along the tour we will be collecting more than 100,000 Christmas, Hanukkah and holiday greeting cards for our troops that we will deliver to them in Iraq and Afghanistan. Get your kids involved, and invite local schools to participate! On the outside envelope be sure to write either: “Christmas Card for Our Troops” or “Hanukkah Card for Our Troops” or “Holiday Card for Our Troops.” Hear what legendary TV personality, Ed McMahon, has to say about the effort - CLICK HERE to LISTEN.

Bring the cards to one of our 40 pro-troop holiday events along the route of the "Honoring Our Heroes at the Holidays Tour" - you can find our tour route and itinerary here:

"A Song for Their Service" - Holiday Concert



December 14th - 8:00 PM at the Lincoln Theater. A special holiday tribute to our troops featuring holiday and patriotic songs performed in honor of the men and women of the United States military. Check back soon for information on how to get tickets for this magical event. We want a packed house for this concert since we will be asking the crowd to show appreciation for our wounded warriors from Walter Reed Medical Center and Bethesda Naval Hospital who we will bring as our honored guests.

Hi Beautiful

I have forwarded the information to our state Patriot Guard folks. Hopefully we will be able to put together a big pack of Christmas cards for the troops. They might even find a bunch of flag waving MS bikers who want to escort them.

This sounds like something that the PGR should be involved in. Good opportunity to do state to state escorts and gather up a bunch of Christmas cards.

as i said, i can only say what happened to my "brothers-in-arms" & to myself.

it was on the "Left coast" & in the north, where we were cursed, spat upon, had "stuff" thrown at us, " were called names" like "baby-killer" & abused.

never had that happen a single time in dixie.

pardon me, but i was talking about the "VN period". you would have been "taking your life in your hands" to have "decorated your car" in '73/'74.

i personally know a Marine, who was "dragged out of his PU" in Rolling Meadows, IL & "beaten half to death" for just HAVING a 3" USMC sticker in the back window. (i KNOW. i was a former college "buddy" of his & went to see him in the hospital, after. btw, NOTHING was done to his "abusers". the PD officer at the ER said, "them's the breaks" & left.)

we GIs were even told to take the "post parking stickers" OFF our POVs to "blend in with the civilian vehicles" in late '74 at Ft Mead, MD.

imVho, we must ASSURE that vets/GIs are NEVER, EVER again treated as we "RVN era vets" WERE.

"Sir Walter" was also quoted as saying (in late Nov '80) that he "just couldn't believe" that ANYBODY would be "so foolish & uneducated as to vote for" someone like President Reagan.

the TRUTH is that the main-SLIME media is just that. they are NOT to be believed on anything more important than the latest FL/NBA scores.

.

Yup, t’is a bit hard to agendize ball game scores in one’s reporting in the media, isn’t it..?

In March 2003 WALTER CRONKITE told us,

...on National TV as we were busy watching great 24-7 cable/satellite TV News coverage of my Vietnam Unit 7th Cavalry Regiment’s spearheading Freedom’s arrival to Iraq,

...that we should stop it and watch the evening Network TV news anchors tell us “What we are seeing” instead. (Just like the “good old” days.)

As WALTER CRONKITE is now pushing hard for the 2008 Election of a President HILLARY, who also supported a Communist North Vietnam takeover of a then Free South Vietnam during the Vietnam War.

For...
...the Enemy is now within
...and always has been.
