A Letter to the Republic for Which We Stand
LT K. Again you bring to bear the power of the pen. Your comments stir the
soul, bring a smile to my face and cause deep reflection. You are truly a
gifted writer.
LT Kelley. Once again, it was a pleasure reading. And once again, as
always, I am very impressed. When I grow up I want to be JUST LIKE YOU-
but from here, not there! I think that from where I sit, I can say that
your sacrifices for our country and for thiers are HUGE, as well as the
sacrifices of your family. I appreciate it so much! We'll try not to
change on you.
Thanks to you Lt. for serving our country. May God bless you and keep you
safe. Prayers being said that one day you get to come home and sit in your
chair and watch all of this from the inside. I hope your dream comes true.
Dang it LT, you made me cry. Now I'll have to link you. ;)
Lt K,
Seconding GunnNutt on the teary thing. Excellent letter, Lt. K - Thanks!
That was wonderful mate. I do hope you realize that we Aussies are right
behind you.
Thank you for visiting our blog.
Hey LT,
"Yes, that’s my plan for the moment. But like everything else, it changes."
Wow, you DO have a gift for writing. My military friends have explained to
me what you describe (when I start feeling guilty about living in safety
while you guys are on the front lines), but I don't think they've ever said
it so beautifully. Thanks for believing we're worth it. We certainly wish
we could do for you something that would be reciprocal to what YOU do for
us; but we mostly have to content ourselves with loving you guys to pieces,
and with gestures of support before and after that will never equal your
gifts of body, time, or spirit. You and your brothers in arms have my
deepest gratitude.
Lt.
I wanted to say thank you for this great letter. I wanted to let you know
that sometimes we think of you when we are driving our cars, drinking our
lattes and going to work. I have thought how often I would, if I could,
change places with a soldier there so he could be here enjoying these same
things. And while we hope that war does not change you, we know that it
does.
LT...
I have forwarded this to my Marine Corps brethren. Your words are
magical... they capture what few experience and fewer can explain.

Dear Wordsmith
We are not all oblivious sheep. Many , many of us stood our ground for this nation. Thank you for your courage, and please know that there a lot of vets that track what is happening as best as we can. Two of "my people" are in Iraq, one more to go soon. One from my Synagogue is headed back to Afghanistan for a second tour. All of you are valiant, and we love you.
This is the piece I'd like you to submit for the book you've been asked to
take part in.

And if you want to find out more about what is going on in the Middle East
from the boots on the ground go to www.centcom.mil Come see what our
soldiers are doing, what the MSM will not show you. You should link us to
your site as well.
Hey LT,
I have not read a better post bearing the very soul of our men and women
who serve. I served four years and never went to combat but not for lack of
trying. But I learned we all serve in our own way and I felt everything you
have just written and would gladly do it again.
When my daughters gratuated from high school and both went abroad in
American schools, all my friends and family asked "Why ? But WHY are they
going when you have been so close the three of you, when you re living in a
nice place, have a good job, have a whole life here ?" I ll tell you why.
Can you imagine how it feels when you work 70 hours a week and 52 weeks a
year and make as much money as you can and then pay taxes and you re just
so mad because the tax money will be used on purposes you not only disagree
with, but are totally in opposition with your ideals ? Do you know how i
feel when thinking that not a single buck goes to you American soldiers in
Iraq ? Do you know how i feel when i hear our government who s feeding so
fucking refined meals and who s flying private jets out of my tax money,
just go here and there criticizing America and Americans and emphasizing
what a mess there is now in Iraq ! Can you imagine how i feel when i hear
about Moussaoui s trial and i know that we share the same nationality and i
know he was fed on my country s welfare money, on my taxes money ? And do
you know how it feels at the end of the year when you ve done your best in
your job, when your accountant comes and gives you the figures, and you can
NOT rejoice about your benefit because not a cent will go to causes in
which you believe. Yes i feel guilty sometimes when i realize how safely
and happily i can live thanks to you guys. But guilt is not the main
feeling. Shame is. You American guy, be proud of your country and what you
re doing. And i just hope that my kids will never come back from America.
Sorry it s not a nice comment. Perhaps i sound very angry and not a very
good person. Well i m both angry and not a good person till your next piece
of marvellous writting !
Love from Francoise
