This Veterans Day, Say “Thank You!”

by Apolonio E. Muñoz III Saturday, Oct. 25, 2008 at 11:42 AM

Veteran's Day Annoucement

This Veterans Day, Say “Thank You!”

November 11th is the one day each year when Americans are asked to pause and honor our Veterans for their service to our great Nation. Veterans Day gives everyone the chance to say “thank you” to the men and women who have fought to protect the Freedoms we all enjoy today.

I have the privilege of thanking Army Veterans for their selfless service through my role as a volunteer Ambassador for the U.S. Army Freedom Team Salute program. The goal of this program is to honor the service of ALL Army Veterans no matter when or for how long one served. You, too, can honor Army Veterans by visiting www.freedomteamsalute.com. Army Veterans will receive an official U.S. Army Freedom Team Salute Commendation Package, which includes a certificate of appreciation and a personalized letter signed by the Secretary and Chief of Staff of the Army; a customized U.S. Army lapel pin; and U.S. Army decals.

Freedom Team Salute has made a difference to me and to those Army Veterans I have recognized. So, as you walk down the street, casually browse in the mall, or enjoy a night out on the town this Veterans Day, remember to say “thank you” to all Veterans you see. And take that extra step and honor any Army Veterans you know by visiting www.freedomteamsalute.com or by contacting me at 323-263-1206 x238 or at apolonio.munoz@usw.salvationarmy.org. You will be surprised how two simple words, “Thank You,” can mean the world to a Veteran.

contempt is like respect

by PrionPartyy Sunday, Oct. 26, 2008 at 4:53 AM

they served to protect the freedoms we have today???

How does slautering Iraqis or Vietnamese etc etc thousands of miles away from the USA protect our freedoms??? Or is it just vacant rhetoric.

Did my grandfather die in France so that his loved ones could be free, or did he die in France so that the battered bastards who made it back and could provide for their loved ones could "be free" to democraticly dump trillions of dollars of their debt (THEIR unpaid taxes) onto my grandfather's loved ones??? The vetrans have betrayed their fallen comrads and left the fallen's contributions in the mud of europe, the sands of Africa, and the bottom of pretty much every sea on the planet.

I have grown to hate memorial day because the veterans have stolen that too and turned it into a second vetrans day.

Contempt is like respect in that it MUST be earned.

a moment please

by Freedom Team Salute ? Sunday, Oct. 26, 2008 at 8:57 AM

The Military.
This is a critical subject not to be flushed with the asshole who wrote this piece.
The military is the leathal arm of the state. Its people trained to fill the mission we gave them through our participation in the system and as such needs to be the people's arm, which it is not; if it is not to be used against the people.
We have martial law now as a creeping encursion as we allow regular Army or Marines or any active arm, to roam the streets. As in Katrina durring the aftermath of this engineered event which killed thousands in New Orleans.
Most of the re toured combat soldiers are in serious trouble mentally and physically by the abuse they have endured at the hands of a deranged upper command.
All are slated for death through the poison of Uranium munitions when they come back.
Go ahead, make them your whipping post.
Who's side are you on?
You're not even an American citizen
"Contempt is like respect in that it MUST be earned."
you've got mine, that's for sure.

be clear, next time.

by PrionPartyy Sunday, Oct. 26, 2008 at 12:58 PM

"You've got mine, that's for sure. "

Who was that directed at? Me??? You quoted me, so I assume you ment me.

If me, then which do I got? You respect or your contempt???

You should at least try to be clear.

And if it is your contempt that I got, watch out, you are being baited.

"Did my grandfather die in France-"

by sear Monday, Oct. 27, 2008 at 1:08 AM

well now, I don't know.
Did he? You seem to portray yourself as one of us in America, yet you live in occupied Palestine otherwise called israel.
I view your particular posts as deliberate agitation; in this case against my brothers and sisters in arms who are victims of a system that, like your posts would cast them into the gutter to die after suffering the horror of combat..
So did your grandfather die in the liberation of Europe? I am curious. Was he in combat?
My father was there and Italy and Also Korea. He was another product of sinister manipulation by forces he should have known about, but lacked the tools of the internet to comb through his indoctrination to face certain hard and ugly thuths. Thus he served the system. He liberated a few death camps and had the good citizens of nearby town, do a forced tour.
I served also, durring the Vietnam mobilazation and witnessed shit thst still make me want to puke but I was lucky to live in an era of information.
I studied and learned about these sinister forces and the agents they employ to confuse and lie people into killing each other, trying to make sense of it. It comes down to betrayal.
I think you should mind your own business and stick to reining in the IDF in your own back yard.

nice try, at running away runing away

by PrionPartyy Monday, Oct. 27, 2008 at 3:42 AM

You have chosen an odd way of running away running away from the issues I post. One thing that can be said about you trying to change the subject to avoid the issues I post is that it sure looks cowardly.

Why not just tell us how slaughtering Iraqis or Vietnamese etc etc thousands of miles away from the USA is going to protect our freedoms?

Why not just tell us how, if not mine, then undenyably by you millions of other grandfathers, died in world war 2 so that the veterans who made it back could be free to democraticly enslave the fallen's loved ones? It is not like they were in their foxholes under civilian orders when they chose to dump their taxes onto my grandfather's loved ones.

As for Memorial days being stolen by veterans, I guess that is a judgement call that could be debated. But that is what I see. Look at your own statement. You "served" in Vietnam so YOU have a right to express yourself. But because I never been to combat, I should mind my own biznez. You, a veteran, allegedly protecting my freedom of expression on issues that you choose to run away run away from, suggest I shut the hell up. HEY, I am not in your unit. Don't be breaking bad on my ass.

"vietnam mobilazation"? "Mobilazation"??? is that the fancy new way to call slaughtering millions of vietnamese?

You "served"? And whom did you "serve"??? LBJ??? If you can't answer shall we assume that is another rhetorical scam word.

typical

by from Israel?- Imagine That! Monday, Oct. 27, 2008 at 5:18 PM

So your dear granda pa didn't die in France as you stated a few posts ago.
You have no dog in this fight but sure are intent on smearing your betters while you lie about personal involvement, aka 'granpa' to pose as one of us.
We sure don't need your 'help' to mend the corruption of our military as I think we've already had enough deranged israeli influence in the neocon infiltrated psycho-ward of American government which happened to have pushed for this current phase of slaughter.
Posing as one of us.
Like you.

got em! hook line and sinker

by PrionPartyy Monday, Oct. 27, 2008 at 6:34 PM

No, I never said my grandfather didn't die in France. YOU failed to say that he died so that the battered BASTARDS (a fitting expression from my point of view) who made it back and could provide for their loves ones could BE FREE to democraticly (NOT in uniform, but long after) enslave my fallen grandfather's loved ones. YOU run away run away like a coward.

smearing my "betters"???

Lets look at that a second or thousand, shall we? You would (DO!) use suggesting that I should shut the hell up, cuz I "have no dog in this fight" (FIGHT?, what are you on, meth or sumthin?). Hmmmm, no freedom of speech for me. Well then, YOU tell US what YOUR fallen comrads died for in Veitnam. Hmmmm? Sure as hell wasn't freedom of expression, not in YOUR EYES. now was it??? Looks like you took the bait I warned you about.

Go ahead and tell us how YOU left THEIR legacy in the mud of Vietnam, AND SHIT ON IT!!!!!!!!!

Ohhhhhh, all prais to the mighty vetrans who bettray their fallen comrad's sacrifices.

YOU make ME sick. "Betters"? What, because you were a baby killer in Vietnam??? Like that gives you the right to tell me to shut the hell up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy shit, have you got your head shoved up YOUR ass!!!!!!!!

Please note all the !!!!!!!!!!!! punc-tuation marks. they reallty do add to my contempt of YOUR betrayals of YOUR fallen comrads. And feel free to highjack memorail day too. It really showcases your contempt for the fallen.

by Yer an Israeli? Imagine That! Tuesday, Oct. 28, 2008 at 3:22 AM

This sure remines me of all the psycho-ward liars israel assigns to this board.
Replete with the spasm of insults which avoid the truth.
They respond to a post by lying and making shit up and all anyone needs to do is scroll up, to see this.

Keep your apendage out of our military as you have enough evil to deal with right in your own miserable state without israeli spooks visiting this newswire...
As stated previously, mind your own affairs or keep revealing your true motives.

You sir/madam hav NO HONOR, your title is indicative of your character. You have no idea how many have willing followed orders, including dying, to give you the freedom to spew your ugly diatribe.

oh yeah?

by American* Infantry Vet Sunday, Nov. 09, 2008 at 7:31 AM

* as in not some PP from a middle east fascist 'democracy', posiong as an offended citizen. They have their own problems which need to be addressed.
The rulers have this small problem. Most American citizens wont fire on fellow Americans, even when ordered to. Something about an Oath to defend the Constitution "against all enemies, foreign and domestic".
With the military now assigned to police work in violation of Posse' Comitatus
it wont take long before PVT, Joe realizes that Mom and Dad are now the new official enemy, and there will be an insurrection.
Another problem is...
Trained returning and former soldiers have a tendency to not want to hide under their beds, waiting for the 'criminal' sweeps from a huge and growing watchlist to be rounded up into FEMA labor/re-education camps.
That's why this degenerate elite needs to destroy our military and snuff out any support from the general populations. We'll have Blkackwater in military guise, pulling shit to further smear the vets.
Merc' scum, under pay is a much easier enforcement arm to control.
