From The Frontlines

The grand finale for the push will take place on June 26th when a Jerry Lewis style 8-hour Internet Telethon ("From the Frontlines") will take place. This cutting edge production “From The Frontlines” will be broadcast live online by UStream.tv and hosted by Melanie Morgan & Michelle Malkin. Live and taped reports will be broadcast from our troops serving in Iraq & Afghanistan during the historic 8-hour event.
Complete information can be found here.

For all the liberals who for 5 years have chanted and proclaimed that you support the troops but not the mission, it is time to put your money and your actions where your mouth is. Or will the fact that the event is sponsored by conservatives allow to create yet one more excuse to dismiss the effort?

National Heroes Tour at Ft Bragg, NC

The National Heroes Tour made one of its' last stops last night at Ft Bragg, NC, home of the 82nd Airborne and the Special Forces Command, and a very appropriate stop for these heroes. Monday and Tuesday they will in Washington DC to show their support of Gen Petraeus along with members of the Gathering of Eagles, Move America Forward, Vets For Freedom and Vets for Victory.

I know this is a rather lengthy video, 50 minutes in duration, so if you don't want to watch the whole thing fine, it is your loss. You absolutely must set aside time to watch these folks and listen to their stories, but at a very minimum go to the 45 minute mark and listen to LTC Steven Russell sum it up.
I heard one comment about the low turnout again! To me that has been the big national disgrace associated with this tour. Why they are not talking to filled stadiums is beyond me and it is causing me to reconsider where our country is when these heroes can not draw larger crowds then they do and the total lack of any sort of national press coverage this tour has garnered. Maybe David Bellavia has it right, if only somebody on the tour had won 5 golf tournaments in a row like Tiger Woods they would be getting more attention.

Patriots taking a walk

Jonn Lilyea over at This Ain't Hell... has a good round up of the march held today in DC by the folks from Gathering of Eagles and Move America Forward. Unless the sight of the American flags flying in the breeze and the inspiring words of our veterans past and current cause you to go into epileptic fits it is well worth taking the time to check it out.

I've been a little busy with all of the severe weather down here in the Atlanta area today.
