Thank you Karen,

one last thing-
(before I go to bed)
do you remember this?

John Kerry chose to have a cover on his book "The New Soldier" that has me absolutely furious. To show a group of dirty looking guys with an American flag upside down reinacting the sacred scene at Mount Suribachi is unforgivable. Three of the six men in that sacred scene died at Iwo Jima. 2,420 of the 30,000 on the beach were dead or wounded by dusk of the first day. The price for Iwo Jima was 25,851 Marines killed or wounded. James Forrestal, secretary of the navy, said of Iwo Jima: "I can never again see a United States Marine without feeling a reverence." I have that same feeling for Marines, especially for my father, "Gunny Lowe", 4th Marine Division, Pacific, WWII. John Kerry's thoughtless action is unforgivable and I for one resent it deeply.
