2008 Operation Recruiter Appreciation underway!

May 17, 2008

Our recruiters are our “First Line of Defense” and need to be recognized for their efforts.  In the past year, our recruiters have been under attack by insurgents right here at home!  As Americans we need to show them that we know they are important and we appreciate them.

Recap of CPAC

CPAC 2008

 Attending the 2008 CPAC was my excellent opportunity to collect more Post Cards of Support for our brave men and women of the United States Military.  It is heartwarming to find so many Patriots in one location, who appreciate and sincerely revere our Soldiers and their service!

The Crazies Never Sleep

The Berkeley California council on Tuesday passed two resolutions condemning the Marines as part of a campaign by anti-war activists to shut down the recruiting center. The council also gave Code Pink, a leftist group that daily harasses the Marines with hate speech, a free parking place and noise permit.

MRS. JACKY’s SOLDIERS

  A small group of volunteers in Oak Lawn, IL meet almost every week to pack and mail boxes to soldiers from the south side area or that have relatives in the same area. These soldiers in turn pass the material to their units and several units around them, continuously spreading out the good will from the community back home. It all started in March 2003 when a student’s parent from Mrs. Jacky’s early education classes at the Oak Lawn Park District was sent to Iraq. Items were collected and sent out weekly in small boxes. The soldiers’ names kept growing and so did the collections. Soon this group became known as “Mrs. Jacky’s Soldiers.”

  The soldiers who have returned all say the same thing in their thanks to this group, “It was not what you sent, but that you sent all the time to show us that someone back home cares about us.”  Their families also expressed their gratefulness that their soldier’s morale was being positively lifted with each box sent. Stamps, letters and items are accepted at Oak View Center at 4625 W 110th Street in Oak Lawn, IL 60453. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Mrs. Jacky at 708-857-2200. Thank you for your positive thoughts for the soldiers! Mrs. Jacky: )

Call to Action:

We Need Your Help!....HR-2304...Do Not Exploit our Soldiers!

http://www.modernconservative.com/donotexploit.php. Please visit this website and pass this all over.

Folks, please help us get this bill passed! Since I emailed everyone last, only 10 names have been added to this bill. We need 90 more names on this bill! Please help us help these Gold Star Families. It is the least we can do for these brave Soldiers who gave their lives for all of us. Their families should be protected from further pain and grief. It is wrong to exploit the names of our fallen and this bill will enable the Attorney General to file suit against those who do.

So please, take the time today and call the representatives at the bottom of this email. If you can't call all of them, call as many as you can. This is our chance to give back to these families and protect them from further pain and suffering.

Thank You so very much.

Move America Forward will host their 2nd annual web-a-thon to raise money for our troops. 

Their theme this year will be “Honor their Service” and the 8 hour program will air on June 25th.

This year’s program will be co-hosted by Melanie Morgan and Andrew Breitbart. Contributions are collected by their website order form, or by phone. The care packages that will be sent to the troops as a result of this telethon will include a whole bunch of great food or personal comfort items that they appreciate. You can view a sample of what items our troops will receive here: http://www.thecampaignstore.com/store/default.asp?parentid=385

"Brothers Ar War" - a must see movie

What a great morning.  I just received a call from Jake Rademacher, the Producer of "Brothers Ar War." He asked me to send a message out to the military community, and especially to all you Glorious Veterans on Motorcycles, to come and see his film!  He thought it would be cool to see Veterans on Motorcycles showing up at the Theaters.  I think it would be too! He mentioned Gathering of Eagles and Rolling Thunder!

It is so about time that Hollywood made movies about our Heroes and their selfless sacrifice in this war on terror.  It is so about time Hollywood showed the guts, bravery and courage of the American Soldier in all wars!  The only way that is going to happen folks, is if we get to the movies and support films like "Brothers At War."  Do you remember the message we sent to the Producers of Redacted?!!  We caused that movie to tank and they lost money on it!  We do have the power to make or break a movie!  

I especially enjoyed the film because my Son has been to every place Jake went to with his camera, so I got to see what it was like for my Son.  So all you Military Families out there, you will enjoy this film.  He also captures the appreciation of the Iraqi people and that is something no one in this media will report!

So please, go see this movie and Really Support Our Troops!!

Thank You and remember, we have the power to get GOOD movies made again!!

Below is an email from Chris Hill, National Director of The Gathering of Eagles, and this saddens me beyond words.  Our troops have done an exemplary job in Iraq and as I watched hundreds of Iraqis gather in a Church in Baghdad on Easter Sunday, my heart filled with pride for the work our Soldiers have done.  Thanks to our brave military, Iraqis are practicing freedom of religion, a far cry from the torture chambers of Sadaam's day.  Thanks to our brave military, we have been safe on this soil for the last 8 years!  What Heroes they are, every single one of them!

I just want to thank Chris Hill, Capt Larry Bailey and Concrete Bob of The Gathering of Eagles for all the work they put into this rally and all the good deeds they do for our Soldiers daily.  GOE is, in my opinion, is one of the finest organizations in this country.  They are boots on the ground in support of our Soldiers and they don't just talk the talk, they walk the walk!!  Try standing with these folks when IVAW or Code Pink call our Soldiers Baby Killers!!!  They will gather and they will shut you down if you go after our Soldiers, anywhere, anytime!  In spite of all the efforts of these fine Patriots to make this rally happen, I believe the sponsors pulled back because of the economic mess we are all in with this moronic man running our country right now.  States are going bankrupt but one of the good things is that the NRA says Barak Obama is the best gun salesman around!  

We shall survive this mess and in the meantime, we must pull together and continue to support our troops!   If you willm, please go to Move America Forward's website  http://www.troopathon.org/, and participate in this great event coming up on June 25th.  Last year Melanie Morgan, Cat Moy and Debbie Lee raised over a million dollars for care packages for our troops.  Let's show our troops we love them and appreciate them by supporting this event in June!

Again, thank you GOE, for always doing everything in your power to stand by and stick up for our troops!  I love you all and through my Son's deployments, you offered me more strength and support and for that, I am forever indebted to all of you!  God Bless GOE and God Bless the brave men and women of our military!  Onward and upward!

Letter from Chris Hill, Gathering of Eagles
 

Good Morning:

It is with a heavy heart and more than a little anger that I must tell
you all that the VI Rally scheduled for 13 June in D.C. has been
cancelled.  Our sponsors pulled out a couple weeks ago and though we
tried mightily to get others we have come up dry.  It appears that the
money guys on our side of the argument are running scared from the
current political climate.  The Park Service is going to pull our
permits for lack of resources; simply put, no portalets or EMT
services means no rally.  I apologize for any inconvenience this
causes, but there's is simply nothing we can do.

We had commitments from Capt. Phillips of the Somali pirates event,
Marcus Luttrell USN SEAL (Lone Survivor), former Congressman Duncan
Hunter, Pat Dollard, various Blue and Gold Star family members, three
separate musical acts, a potential video up link to Iraq, the 9/11
chopper, dragsters painted to represent the different services and an
after party at the Hard Rock Cafe.  Unfortunately, the hard work
expended to put this together, by a number of people will now be for
naught.  Please don't let this discourage your efforts.  It is all the
more important that we redouble our efforts concerning our heroes in
the desert.  I hope you all understand how difficult it is for me to
send this message.  Thank you for all your efforts.  Manchu.

From the Founder of The Band of Mothers:

As I watched Cindy Sheehan and her misguided bunch in Crawford, Texas, she ignited in this mother my “protective instincts.”   I raised three children myself and well, let’s just say “nobody ever messed with my kids!”  I do not believe there is a force in this world stronger than a mother’s instinct to protect her children.  I have watched these protestors and worry so very much about how their disrespectful behavior affects our noble Soldier’s morale.  I decided that we cannot afford nor allow their voice to be the only voice heard!  Never a mother who could sit idly by, an idea formulated in my heart and in my mind that our brave men and women need “The Band of Mothers” to watch over them, and more importantly, to  “Stick Up For Them!” 

If You would like to become a member of the Band of Mothers, simply go to the Ranger UP website and purchase a T-shirt and wear it often and everywhere!  All proceeds after cost go to The Wounded Warrior Project and  The Gathering of Eagles Organization - which protects our soldiers from the growing insurgency at home. We will know each other, and so will others, by our T-Shirts!

An email was sent to the founder of The Band of Mother, Mrs. Perlson, which shows the character of our brave heroes, our soldiers and serves as  an example of why the United States of America is the GREATEST nation in the world!  We wanted to share it with you - THANKS RYAN, may God's speed and grace be with you.

Dear Band of Mothers,

Thank you so much for the support of the troops. Being a mother is not easy; being a mother in a situation where you know you may never see your beloved son or daughter again must be torture. You are correct, Warriors come from Warriors.

 I am 20 years old and from Colorado. I am a student at the University of Colorado, and come November, I am a United States Marine. My mother is terrified; I do not know what to tell her, but I know that this is something that I have to do, for America and for myself. Thank you for raising children with the courage and strength to serve.

 I wish the safe return of all of your children. Despite the efforts of peace groups and counter-protestors, there are always replacements such as myself. It may not seem like it, but there are still plenty of kids who know when to stand up and do what is right. In fact, the Army and USMC were above their recruitment quotas for last year; I would say there are a lot of us. It is an honor to follow your children into battle, and to relieve them so that they may return. Thank you again, you are an amazing group of women. I think I am going to get my mother a shirt. She is terrified, as I said; I hope that one day she can come to be proud of me as well. Thank you all.

Sincerely,
Ryan
