Received in my daily email update from Military.com. Nice article. I did not know that Sean Astin was this much of a patriot. Nice to see.

This is a great article - I find it refreshing to know that there are people that will promote the Military - and care for their needs. Thanks, I needed that today - after reading all the crap the crats have been spuing lately.

No doubt, it's good to hear some commonsense coming from the mouths of some of our Hollywood Celebs. I'm so tired of the Sean Penns & Mr. Dumb@ss racist Spike Lee's running their damn Commie Mouths.

Refreshing to see that not everyone in Hollyweird has gone crazy.

It is nice to see a young man with the wherewithall to do the right thing.
And at least I know a few movies I can watch now with a clear conscience.

Wow! Thanks Sean Astin! Wish I could be a fly on the wall if he and Mr Viggo ever started discussing this "War for Oil".

"There's a lot of different people and voices in America, and I don't mind letting my voice be heard," Astin said during an interview conducted at the Pentagon. "I learned from reading about Vietnam that no matter what you think politically about certain deployments, as a good citizen and a patriot it's your duty to appreciate that there are soldiers using their lives on your behalf as a citizen."

A quote to rub in the faces of the leftist pukes protesting this weekend.

Thank you Sean, for your service! I am sure glad you are with us!

Hi, HOTD!

That's a great picture of Sean and Elijah (Sam and Frodo). The caption says what I feel like saying to Sean and others like him.

[cubreporter]

Well, you know the old saying: Those who have the least to say speak the loudest...

If I weren't in a public library at this moment, I'd be weeping noisily with joy!!

THANK YOU SEAN ASTIN.

I may have to rethink my fandom of Billy Boyd.

I don't think the Scots have quite figured out that they could have broken from Socialist England all along...

i just wanted to make a note about Bradshaw. He's an o.k. wrestler, but he's got a big mouth when it comes to supprting America. He said on the first WWF T.V. show right after 9/11, "I hope we bomb who ever did this into a big, stinkin' parking lot." The WWF (or WWE) has done a lot of things to support our troops and even though the show is fake, the support isn't.

*sigh* Samwise Gamgee swoon!!!

Rosie's gonna lose it with me one of these days! :)

[HairOfTheDog]

If you ever hear or see the public service announcements... I would love a recap of them!

~big fan of Sean Astin....

I have also posted this on my blog...

This is great! Way to go, Sean!

[HighRoadToChina]

One of the greatest speech on freedom I have heard is by Sam Gamgee in The Twin Towers:

"There are things that people hold onto to keep them going," says his faithful servant Sam Gamgee.

"What are we holding onto?" Frodo asks.

"That there is some good in this world, and that's worth fighting for," Sam replies.

God bless Sean Astin for doing the right thing for helping our military. Not like that other beer-brain actor also from LOTR.
