MR. MILLER,
I MET YOU AT THE GILBERT PEACH FES. TODAY AND WANTED TO TELL YOU THIS STORY.
I MET JOE WILSON ABOUT 9 YEARS AGO AT A COUNCEL MEETING IN LEXINGTON CO. I TOLD HIM I WAS A VIETNAM VET WITH A LOT OF PROBLEMS AND COULDN'T GET ANY HELP, HE SAID WE WOULD TALK AFTER THE MEETING, WE DID AND HE GAVE ME HIS CARD AND TOLD ME TO COME BY HIS OFFICE. I DID AND THEY WOULDN'T LET ME SEE HIM, SO I TRIED CALLING HIM, NO ONE WOULD ANSWER MY CALLS, SO I WROTE HIM AT HIS HOME, OFFICE IN COLUMBIA AND WASHINGTON, NOTHING. I BELONG TO A COMBAT VETERAN GROUP AT DORN V.A. IN COLUMBIA, I HAVE HEARD THE SAME STORY MANY TIMES.
I'M TELLING EVERYONE I KNOW TO VOTE FOR YOU.
I DID GET MY BENIFITS FROM THE V.A. FOR MY WOUNDS THREE YEARS AGO.
I MOSTLY VOTE REP., BUT MY PRAYERS AND VOTE WILL BE FOR YOU. EVERY VETERAN I KNOW I TELL THIS STORY TO. I SURELY HOPE YOU WIN.
MICHELLE OBAMA IS CLASSY! I WANT TO BE LIKE HER WHEN I GROW UP. IAM BUILDING MYSELF INTO A BETTER PERSON...BUT IT WILL TAKE A LONG TIME. I HOPE TO ONE DAY BE AN EXAMPLE TO WOMEN AND YOUNG LADIES OF THE WORLD...JUST LIKE HER. GOD BLESS HER WITH CONTINUED STRENGTH!
When the kid is 18 he will be an adult and HE can decide what he wants to do. If he wants to go in the military, he has the choice. Just because the "mom" dosen't want her son in the service, fighting for his country. That kid is not the solution to any problem. There are more important things in the world to worry about. Too many kids in the world anyway.
Sad to say, there are mothers in other parts of the world who hold their sons as innocent as Alex in their laps and pray that someday their sons may strike against the "great satan". What will you do when those sons come looking for you and Alex with a bomb strapped around them? It will be too late for you to "move on" then.
