<br />
To the Muslim Gold Star father that spoke at the DNC…..I have some
thoughts on your comments. I am a Blue Star mother. My deepest
condolences on the loss of your son. No family should have to endure
such a loss. That being said….while your son is a hero, you Sir, are
NOT. My son has served three tours of combat in the countries you and
your family came from. Iraq and Afghanistan were his introduction to
adulthood and service to something bigger than our individual selves. He
was blown up by an IED set by your countrymen. His Purple Heart is a
testament to his love of America and our freedoms. I have suffered
through his multiple combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan….never knowing
from moment to moment if he would return home in a flag draped coffin.
It is torture when a mother wakes up to this day after day and sees the
atrocities happening over there on the news and being helpless to change
a thing. My comments to you will probably offend you. I do not
apologize. These things need to be said. Unlike you, I could NEVER use
my son’s death as a pawn piece in support of a woman that left
“America’s treasure” (Hillarys words) to die unaided in Benghazi. The
same woman that says vile things to her military details there to
protect her. You, Sir, are supposed to be a witness to your son’s
bravery and sacrifice. Instead you stood on a stage and promoted the
woman that upholds the very people that killed your son. You became a
political PAWN that promotes pandering to our enemy. You desecrated your
son’s memory by your words. You did not utter one word of outrage at
anyone but Donald Trump. Are you forgetting that Trump did not kill your
son. He had nothing whatsoever to do with these wars. His memory should
mean more to you than five minutes of fame on the stage of the party
that voted to send your son to war. The same party that for eight years
has denied and cheated our veterans out of their deserved medical care.
Who for the last three years has cut our veterans pay. <a href="http://politicalcult.com/blue-star-mom-responds-muslim-attack-brutal/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Read More</a>wourpethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13843362362313861401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7535268881160113760.post-40259037276508227912013-06-22T01:00:00.001-06:002013-06-22T01:00:37.966-06:00Military moms part ways with national charter, strike out on their own <span class="paragraph-0">A local group of military moms dedicated to sending care packages to overseas troops has left the national charter of Blue Star Mothers of America. </span><br />

Kathy McCraw, president of the local group, said there was a series of events leading to the change, including Havasu following suit of dozens of other Blue Star Mothers groups in America who have been suspended or revoked by the national group.

<b>Flag raising honors veterans</b>
<br /><br />Worcester State University will mark Veterans Day, Nov. 8, by
raising a flag that was flown by members of the 181st Battalion, Army
National Guard in Afghanistan. The Worcester-based battalion received
the flag from state Sen. Stephen Brewer and after flying it in
Afghanistan, battalion members who were also Worcester State students
donated the flag to the university.
<br /><br />The ceremony will begin at 2:30 p.m. at the flagpole between the
Shaughnessy Administration Building and Chandler Street. A reception in
the rotunda for Blue Star Mothers will follow.<br />

I’d just come from the noon meeting of the Lima Exchange Club. The lunch usually includes a guest speaker, and this week was a special treat: Marjorie Bryan.<br />

I met Bryan in June at the Allen County Airport, when she went skydiving for the first time. I should mention Bryan is 83 years old, she has a slew of great-grandchildren and even two great-great-grandchildren.<br />

Walking To Remember The Fallen Of September 11, 2001 </h1>
They left the Toms River Armory early in the morning and headed out under ominous skies, into sweltering heat and humidity.<br />
They trudged through Huddy Park, then down onto Route 9 South, into
Beachwood, Pine Beach, Bayville and Ocean Gate. It was tough going in
camouflage and heavy combat boots.<br />
But that did not deter Sgt. First Class Theodore Berry - a full-time
National Guard recruiter - and his fellow marchers on Saturday.<br />
"When we do these walks, it's not a recruiting event, it's a pride event," Berry said.<br />

Members of the Blue Star Mothers of the Jersey Shore, Chapter#4 and the
American Recreational Military Services (A.R.M.S.) were also there to
support the walkers. <br />

He was immediately greeted with hugs from his wife, Savannah, son,

the Blue Star Moms group also showed up to support. As they exited the

This
wonderful community has chosen our organization to be the beneficiary of
their efforts to promote helping the military. Good luck with the race
and thank you for supporting our guys and gals in uniform. ***********
We want to thank Wegman's Grocery Store of Fairfax. They have generously
donated a gift card for the Blue Star Mothers of Northern Virginia to
use to send goodies to the troops. We ask all viewers to consider a trip
to Wegman's, a supporter of the men and women in uniform.
THANK YOU WEGMAN'S.<br />
