A Hero Speaks Softly
Hat Tip Don Sensing This is a Guest Op Ed by Maj. Gen. Patirck Brady for the Northwest Veterans Newsletter. I was going to edit it for length, but given that Gen. Brady holds the Congresional Medal of Honor I figured we ought to let him have his say about heros. P. S. The citation does not tell the whole story of what Gen Brady did to earn the CMOH. Check out Don Sensing's post for a fuller description. Guest Op-Ed by Maj. Gen. Patrick Brady 16 Aug 04 America has no kings or queens but we do have nobility — our nobility is called Veterans. That nobility is responsible for the bounty that is America but tragically their influence has faded in recent years and the values they died for are under attack. But this election year they are back in demand and some have said the veteran vote could decide this election. It may have put Bush in the White House. With this in mind, John Kerry is seldom seen with out his band of brothers and constantly plays the" hero" card as a cornerstone of his bid for president, indeed, as the definition of who he is. Kerry defines patriotism as "keeping faith with those who wear the uniform of this country. He also brags that he "defended this country as a young man". If Missouri is the show me state, Veterans are the show me voters — we are not much for words, deeds are our stock in trade. Lets look at Kerry's deeds. Posted by: Mrs. Davis 2004-08-25 |
