With Memorial Day coming up, I think this would be as good as time as any to share with you what I received in my inbox this morning.
Here, I will share a little of it with you….
Dear Vets for Freedom supporter:This Memorial Day weekend, Americans across this great country will join together in remembering those soldiers who gave their lives in defense of freedom. From the blood-soaked beaches of France to the bombed-out back-alleys of Fallujah, the American G.I. has fought – and died – opposing that which is evil and oppressive, and defending all things decent and free.
Memorial Day is not about partisan politics or divergent ideologies; it’s about remembering the fallen on the battlefield and passing their collective story to the next generation. These stories, and the men that bear them, are the backbone of this American experiment and must never be forgotten. The minute, excuse me – the second – we believe our freedoms “inevitable and immutable,” we have ceased to live in history, and have soured the soldier’s sacrifice. He died in the mud, so we could enjoy this holiday. Today, and every day, only a deep appreciation for our freedom – purchased on the battlefield – will suffice.

The “is the surge working?” debate is coming in September, and Vets for Freedom intends to ensure the pro-mission, pro-surge message is included. Through television, radio, print, and a major yet-to-be-announced event, Vets for Freedom will ensure the voice of the vast “silent majority” of pro-mission troops is heard. However, one thing stands in our way: money. Running an organization takes substantial resources, and Vets for Freedom needs your help. Please, before you head out for the weekend, consider a generous donation. We need it!
I’m eager to get started and look forward to the challenges ahead. But more importantly, today – and every day – I’m proud to have known men that we remember this weekend. Men who, without their sacrifice at the altar of freedom, would have shared this day with us, but instead, live forever as heroes.
God bless this great country,
Pete Hegseth
Iraq War veteran

You know, I’ve been reading a lot of blogs lately that say they support the troops, or tell others they should support the troops but here is a website FROM the troops.
Proudly serving in the United States Navy myself (1985 – 1990), I don’t hestitate at all to contribute to Vets for Freedom. Yes, I support our troops. Sure I served during peace time, but still, I am honored to have served in any way shape or form.
And now I can continue to support and serve our troops; I’m putting my money where my mouth is and I am donating. And right before actually publishing this post, I did go and donate.
Will you?
Help get the word out – Vets for Freedom. This is your chance to actually help get the truth out about what is going on with our troops, troops support, overseas business, and the like.
Please consider contributing to help keep them online!
If this doesn’t float your boat then please consider making some kind of contribution to our troops and then ask others to do the same!
