LB, I spent a coupla hours this afternoon with our local former "Delta Operator". I recall mentioning earlier I served with his dad. This gent is one very sharp dude. After spending a moment locating each others concealed carries and back-ups, we both laughed. A few Starbucks customers were startled initially. I could tell they were happy to see us joking around after the initial encounter. He is quite active in supporting local deployed veterans' families. He has been reaching out and doing this on his own. We spoke some more this evening and I volunteered to join his effort, and will be getting involved starting tomorrow. Several more locals are due to deploy with their reserve units. He knows the families and I have access to some assets he doesn't know about. We should be able to do much good together. The election has been more than interesting. You did a magnificent job. The after-party is over for me. I am motivated to get back to work. War is politics too. I am moving back into a war support mode. I plan to do that two ways. First: support the troops and their families using direct action here where I live. Second: continue to support war refugees in their quest for freedom. I am not leaving you completely...but I hope to be hard to find some days. Thank you for providing a wonderful outlet for concepts and ideas during the election. I salute my buds who have been monitoring this thread. Someone told me that 340 SIers have me bookmarked. That sounds like a lot. I challenge everyone of them to take direct action today to support the deployed troops' families. Go find them and figure out a way to assist. Don't wait for Christmas. Re-electing GWB sent a clear message of support to the troops. A message they got loud and clear. Their families have not yet received the same message. The wives and kids watched Kerry's speeches about the wrong war. They know he was not the only Senator who voted for the $87 billion before he voted against it. They saw M Moore become glorified in the presence of Jimmy Carter. They watched Springsteen's efforts. They saw Babs and the others denigrate the troops. The military kids have been harassed at school. We have to help these military families see that the far left does not represent our views. 53% of the vote makes GWB President for 4 more years. But it will take organized community support across the country to convince the military dependent community that Kerry will never become the come back kid he bragged about today. And that America really does recognize the miltary dependent contribution and hardship. I invite all of you to join the effort to support the military families with deployed love ones serving in the war zones. If you love your freedom, doing nothing is not an option. unclewest
