Letter of Response - Kerry Email to SoldierDad

Yeah, I got one from Boxer like that one too. These liberal politicians are completely out of touch with their constituents.

[SoldierDad]

Any suggestions on how I can get this to those people would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your kind comments.

[SoldierDad]

Thank you for those kind words. If all I can do is provide our soldiers in battle some level of knowledge that we at home appreciate their sacrifice, then I will settle for that. What I would really like to do is be at their sides fighting shoulder-to-shoulder with them. May our Lord keep them in safety until His triumph.

Great- John Kerry is so concerned that he came across as insulting the military that he just had to send a soldier dad an email complaining about President Bush- Way to go Kerry- Imus asked you to keep quiet- but you didn't take his sound advice- Kerry claims he's done more for our military? Well he's partially right, he's done more harm than probably any other Senator- Soldier Dad- Sorry you've had to endure his non apology yet again- you should maybe rewrite him and tell him simply to take Imus's advice & just shut the heck up! Yuo were right to suggest he owes not just the military an apology, but ALSO the President of the United States for Dishonering him and disrespecting his superior! Sorry- but this has me quite angry- It'sd perhaps the angriest I've been over any issue.

Bravo SoldierDad!

I'd like to ask permission to print both you email to Kerry and his email on my site- I'll understand if you don't wish to allow it- but I'd liek others to see that Kerry simply won't quit in his vitriol toward our government.

SoldierDad, get some much deserved rest in your family's comfort tonight.

Bravo! (from the daughter of a career master sargeant in the USAF)

[SoldierDad]

I'd be honored to have you post this elsewhere. I do think you should know that Kerry's email to me was not an unsolicited email to me. I originally sent an email to him expressing my anger at his comments about our troops and our President. His email was in response to the one I sent him. That doesn't change the fact that he still used this opportunity to bash our President and the Bush Administration yet again, sidestepping the issue of his own words and the hurt they caused.

[SoldierDad]

I will do that. My son will be home sometime this weekend, and I'll need my rest for when he's at home for the next 20 days.

[SoldierDad]

As an update on this post, I've sent via email both Kerry's letter to me, and my response, to both David Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich. I don't know whether that will mean much, but I thought it was worth a try.

Good reply sir.

SoldierDad- As you say- he STILL used it as just another oportunity to disrespect his superior. Kerry disrespected his superiors in Nam and his fellow soldiers, and got pardoned so to speak by Carter when Carter gave him a quick honorable discharge even though Kerry clearly broke military protocol and was facing a courtmarshal. I'm just disgusted with the man- I've seen a lot of nastiness come from the left- but his vile nastiness transcends even the lowest of the low. I'll work on getting that on my site pronto. Thanks. and bless you for telling him what he HAD to hear- not that it will do any good, but at least you tried, and did the right thing.

Please tell your father thank you from me. I also served in the USAF. I was stationed at Minot AFB in North Dakota, and my MOS was Security Police. God Bless.

[SoldierDad]

Thanks for that link. I've added it to my favorites and will be checking that site out.

Ya know, I really like that little graphic you use. Thanks for the kind words.

[Grampa Dave]

Great job.

Its not possible that Kerry could be unaware of the incredible level of disdain that many military men have for him. I currently have 15 civilian (nearly all retired military, now contractor or GS) and military men/women under me. I don't know a single one of them who doesn't despise Kerry.

No minced words. Thank you.
