WooHoo - 2/3s of the way updated.
Have a patriotic Memorial Day Weekend.
[Mr] T
A special message here from our friend Beverly Perlson:
On this Memorial Day Weekend, as you gather with friends and family, please remember our Soldiers sitting in Leavenworth. I am continually amazed at how many Americans are not aware that we have Heroes incarcerated in Leavenworth for killing the enemy. If you will, please forward this email out and if you get near Gov Romney, please ask him if he will show the same compassion and courtesy to our American Sons as Obama has shown the terrorists! I believe one of the best ways to honor our Fallen Heroes is to continue to fight for their Brothers.
Thank you

The Ballad of Michael Behenna:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMbytddDjWI
Michael Behenna is serving a 15 year sentence (originally 25 years) in Leavenworth for killing a known Al Qaeda terrorist. Michael's mother is an Asst Federal Prosecutor, Mike's dad has been in law enforcement throughout his life. Michael isn't the only Soldier sitting in Leavenworth. There are others. These American mothers cry themselves to sleep at night! Why does this administration show more compassion and forgiveness toward Iraqi/Afghan mothers than the mothers of America's Sons?! Why is this administration releasing terrorists who agree to sign a Pledge that they won't return to the battlefield, yet our Sons sitting in Leavenworth are not given the same Pledge?!!
Below are many articles on the release of terrorists in what this administration refers to as “catch and release.” With all my heart, I hope President Romney will pardon these men or at the very least, give them the same Pledge to sign as the terrorists, and release them! What is good enough for the terrorists should certainly be good enough for our Brave American Sons! I believe if Gov Romney would speak to this issue, he will win the “hearts and minds” of every Patriotic American! Americans are tired of seeing our Troops mistreated and disrespected by this President who does nothing but appease and placate this brutal enemy we are fighting.
Sgt Michael Patrick Leahy, Purple Heart and Bronze Star recipient, is from Illinois and this highly decorated Soldier is one of our Sons sitting in Leavenworth. My Son served 4 tours with the 82nd Airborne, he is a Bronze Star recipient from Illinois. He is out of the Army now and I am grateful for that. As much as my family loves and supports our military, I do not encourage any young person to serve under this Commander-in-Chief. His dangerous and reckless policies to appease this enemy continue to result in the killing, maiming and incarceration of our Sons!
Afghan/Iraqi mothers are rejoicing at the release of their terrorist Sons while our American mothers/wives cry themselves to sleep at night! I will not stop fighting for these Soldiers until they all come home! What is good enough for the terrorists and their mothers should certainly be good enough for America's Sons and their mothers!
With A Mother's Heart,
Beverly Perlson
