A military mum asks: "Why the Silence?"

It is no secret that I support our military AND their mission. It is also well-known that when a military family speaks, I listen, unlike the politicians on either side of the border. Yankeemom is a military mum (okaaaaaay: mom) and she is totally pissed off as she constantly tries to make the wilfully deaf (and ignorant) politicians listen to her. Her latest column is a MUST READ:
H. Con Res. 248 - War Powers, Congress and Vets ~ Please Read!

Here we go again…

I was on the phone calling Congressmen for over two and a half hours this past Wednesday ~ as one pissed off Army Mom. Rep Kucinich and his little band of anti-war and anti-military progressives were on the House floor doing what they do best: Letting our troops know that they are not appreciated for what they are doing - all in the name of political gain.





What timing! We have Troops in one of the worst places in Afghanistan kicking butt and gaining the trust of the Afghans and we have this little know nothing putting up a Resolution declaring that our troops must be brought home and that we “owe it to them to question the mission at any time”. More Grandstanding by the inept. What do you even know about their mission??...


And Yankeemom has MUCH more to say here.

If you do nothing else today, go read it all - watch the videos, then SPEAK UP! Our military - and their families - deserve to know that they do NOT stand alone. Do you stand with them?
