Jan's letter was very heartwarming and, I'm sure, did your soul good.

As a Canadian, I find it encouraging to know that the USA is supported in so many countries. Not all Canadians are wimps and fence-sitters. Some of us, actually, believe that freedom is worth fighting for before it becomes a worldwide situation. There were some demonstrations in Toronto and Vancouver. However, I do not seem to be able to find any pictures.

Freedom is a state of being that we need all support. I laud the strength and courage of the U.S. military for putting themselves in harm's way to protect the world against oppressors and those who would threaten us all.

Thank you for spreading this message. I think it is a great effort, and worthy of the gratitude of everyone. You show what is the true heart and spirit of America. ~ Sue W.

Hi, Martha;

I just came across your Website. I thought it was great!!!

I am not an American, but I love and respect most things American, notably the way your country goes, without question, to the aid of any country, regardless of its race, creed, or political leaning, in time of disaster.

I am British and will be eternally grateful for the ultimate sacrifice paid by so many Americans during WWI, a war before my time, but one in which my father fought.

Likewise during WWII, a time when my nearby homeland was occupied for five years.

There never seems to be any hesitation on the part of the Americans. Someone is in need, they have the wherewithal, and it is freely given with no strings attached. And if monetary debts are involved, they are invariably forgiven.

If it were my choice, I would give my all to become an American citizen, thus, the concept of an American burning his country's flag is totally alien, unbelievable, and traitorous.

Such people will never comprehend how truly lucky they are.

Obviously, they are still wet behind the ears, they know very little of life, and will always be a burden to others. They enjoy a freedom others would die for, and they mindlessly turn their backs on it? Having been mollycoddled most of their lives, they follow other liberal ingrates like mindless sheep. Give them a taste of suppression overseas, and they would very quickly find a way back to U.S. shores.

I come from a time when youngsters respected the police, teachers and authority in general. Miscreants were given a birching. Misbehaving at school meant a caning, and further punishment at home if our parents learned about it.

But we have allowed our way of life to be taken over by the liberals, who are today undermining our values and our freedom, and they are getting away with it!

Burning one's national flag would have warranted a horsewhipping, and deservedly so. 

We were raised by decent, hardworking parents, who realized that our country did not owe us a living; that we were eventually expected to make our own way in life, and they prepared us for that contingency.

Many of today's able-bodied, scurvy wimps are caught up in welfare fraud, green stamps, insurance scams and frivolous litigation, preferring to get "their share" than do a day's work, and then boast of having put one over on the government.

Today's protesters were brought up by liberal parents, who mindlessly stomp on the rights of others. Their lives are consumed with notions of "all take and no give," demanding that their own needs be met, sneering at decent citizens because they follow the rules to a T.

The playing field is level, but the liberals want to make up their own rules as they go along.

Decent citizens are not weak; they simply respect the higher values that were instilled in them as youngsters. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

Liberality has become a mantra to those with few or no work ethics.

But to be threatened and even attacked from without and then do nothing is criminal, to say the least, and, of course, apathy invites more of the same.

I totally agree with the writer who said that peace, freedom, comes at a price. Peace is NOT cheap, and must be treated as a privilege and with respect. And even in time of peace, eternal vigilance, war if necessary, is its price.

If kerry wins, heaven help America!

Sincerely,

Nick Nicolle

My response:

First, to the kerry comment - I was pretty sure it was only a matter of time before his lies caught up with him. Check this out: Top Headlines from NewsMax.com --Navy Challenges Kerry Medal Citation - article did not come up when I searched on NewsMax when updating this page.

If the click on doesn't work, just go NewsMax.com (that's all you have to type into browser).

Of course everybody knew clinton was lying too and it didn't seem to matter. That worries me a little but more and more kerry BS is coming up so I'm trying to believe a point must exist when even the idiots will have to pay attention.

As for the rest of your note, I couldn't agree more.

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. It truly amazes me how obvious and important the facts are to people in other countries when so many Americans can be so blind; and/or ignorant and unappreciative of our history.
