DON'T GET IN THE WAY OF A MOTHER AND HER SOLDIER SON.

A letter from Beverly Perlson, whose son is a Bronze Star Recipient, to the armchair 'General' Nancy Pelosi, who is micromanaging a war that she despises.

THANKS AND PRAISE: Michael Yon emails: "I photographed men and women, both Christians and Muslims, placing a cross atop the St. John's Church in Baghdad. They had taken the cross from storage and a man washed it before carrying it up to the dome. A Muslim man had invited the American soldiers from 'Chosen' Company 2-12 Cavalry to the church, where I videotaped as Muslims and Christians worked and rejoiced at the reopening of St John's, an occasion all viewed as a sign of hope. The Iraqis asked me to convey a message of thanks to the American people. 'Thank you, thank you,' the people were saying. One man said, 'Thank you for peace.' Another man, a Muslim, said 'All the people, all the people in Iraq, Muslim and Christian, is brother.' The men and women were holding bells, and for the first time in memory freedom rang over the ravaged land between two rivers.

Let's hope these sentiments continue to spread.

Michael Yon's trip's to Iraq are self-financed. Let's  help him out.

Gathering of Eagles

It doesn't take a huge, organized rally with thousands of people to fight back against the moonbat crowd.

It just takes a little time, a big flag, and an endless love of our soldiers to stop the nutjobs in their tracks.

(These photos are riveting)

Gathering of Eagles in North Carolina proved it!

This weekend I had the opportunity to meet celebrated wit, lawyer, pop icon and political satirist, Ben Stein, who was in Sacramento to speak at my alumni dinner, the Pacific McGeorge School of Law Gala.  In addition to the expected humor and entertaining story telling, Stein also made everyone take note of our great country and the heroic men and women in the military.

He started his presentation with a story detailing how much he thanks God every day for the privilege of being an American, the greatest county on earth.  I wondered if the liberal audience might moan some disapproval, but was grateful that a handsome round of applause followed.  For some perverse reason, many liberals seem to have problems saluting America and our military, and Stein made every liberal in the place recognize where he stood.
