“Is this any way to honor a young man that gave his life for his country?”
Filed Fri, Aug 31, 2012 by Jamie Nash
Willis resident Tom Logan is angry with President Obama and his administration, and he wants things to change. Logan’s anger has nothing to do with the Republican Convention, the economy, or any of the other issues on the evening news. Tom Logan is angry because of what he and many others consider an unconscionable lack of respect shown to his family following the death of his son who died serving his country in the Marine Corps.
Cpl. Joseph D. “Joey” Logan was one of six marines killed January 19 when their Vietnam era CH-53D Sea Stallion heavy-lift helicopter crashed without warning while supporting combat operations in the Helmand province in the mountains of Afghanistan. Joey Logan was scheduled to wrap up his deployment and return home just over two months later, where he planned to reenlist and remain stateside. It was also supposed to be the last mission for the aircraft that was older than any of its crew. But Tom Logan and his wife Debi are not angry about where Joey died or why he was there. They are proud they raised a son who was such a patriot and offered the ultimate sacrifice for his country. In fact, both Tom and Debi served in the United States Air Force and they have two other children who remain in the military and Tom says his middle child’s death has not made him wish the other two had chosen different paths.

Thanks KeyLargo.
That’s very similar to how Ted Bundy described himself....
Zippy—if it isn’t about him, it doesn’t matter.
104 rounds of golf, but he can’t sign a few letters a week to assuage the grief of parents and wives and children who have given their loved one to the nation in service.
How can half my countrymen be willing to vote for this cretin?
Perfectly stated!!!

Heard this sad story on Mark Levin's nationally syndicated radio show last night.
What do you expect from a "president" who is quite possibly not even an American citizen?
“Mr. Bush, for instance, has sent personal letters to the families of every one of the more than 4,000 troops who have died in the two wars, an enormous personal effort that consumed hours of his time and escaped public notice. The task, along with meeting family members of troops killed in action, has been so wrenching - balancing the anger, grief and pride of families coping with the loss symbolized by a flag-draped coffin - that the president often leaned on his wife, Laura, for emotional support.”
