We Need To Do Something About The Purple Heart Band Aid Brouhaha....
Edited on Mon Aug-30-04 09:21 PM by DemocratSinceBirth
They are handing out Purple Heart Band aids at the Republican National Convention to mock John Kerry's Purple Hearts but those cretins are really mocking all the brave men and women who were awarded the Purple Heart for combat related wounds some of them quite serious...


Quite serious like my dad who was awarded the Purple Heart for taking shrapnel in the eye in WW 2 during the North African Campaign... He also contacted malaria... He spent six months at Walter Reed..... They could save the eye cosmetically but not the sight....


Prior to the war he was a lifeguard, an amateur boxer and an all around great athelete.... He came home from the war a broken man...


I was going to e-mail the joker who is alleged to being handing them out and offer to show him my dad's Purple Heart along with his swimming, boxing, baseball, and track medals...


Where's the outrage?

3. Of course, the asshole is a chickenhawk...
They just use the military to enrich themselves--they don;t really give a shit about the people who fight.

9. you know what-
that just shows how hollow their agenda is-all they can do is dirty a person up or be sarcastic-the fact that the VP had a boat load of deferrments ( a bullsh++ word for allowing others to fight and die for you) is lost on them. All it does is reinforce the idea that memebers of the democratic party do not belong in the armed forces-only rethugs should volunteer since it is their military not the country's-if all they can sell is bile to drink hopefully Americans will long for the taste of hope and positiveness in the November election which will only be offered by our party-
