I'm not usually overly political but...


THIS SAYS IT ALL!!!
As many of you know I am a Military Wife. I am also a Military Daughter, Granddaughter and Niece. I come from a long line of Sailors, Soldiers and Marines. I am very proud of this heritage and my current status. So that is why I was moved when I heard of the 3 Navy SEALS up on "brutality" charges. These are the gentlemen who went in and snatched the bad guy who masterminded the attacks on the 4 Blackwater Contractors and hung their mutilated bodies from a bridge in Iraq. Yeah THAT guy. Well he has claimed that he was punched in gut and has a split lip by these SEALS. Yes you may insert a laugh or snort what ever consumes you now. My friend Diane described it best.."He's lucky it wasn't a bunch of wives that got a hold of him" Amen Sister! Especially deprived wives because their husband are stationed over in that Sandbox for a year... Sorry that's a whole nother can of worms. Anyway...Well now these heroes are up on charges and I personally think it's a bunch of Horse Pucky! So I took Monday off from work to go to a Support Rally for these guys. I've never done like that before, go to a demonstration or rally. It was very moving. To hear the honking of the horns for the support, holding my sign and standing up for what I believe in. It's very humbling to be a part of something bigger than yourself. Elle Woods said it best when she gave her speech to the Joint Session in Legally Blonde 2 Red White and Blonde "Speak Up America, you have a voice. Speak Up"! And I did! So here are a few pictures from the rally. Please keep these Silent professional warriors in your prayers and may God let justice prevail.
News Crews were there.
Marty McCabe, Matthew McCabe's Father!
Me and the Beautiful Miss Charlotte
Josh the Organizer, me and Scott Taylor, who will hopefully be our new Congressman next year!! Mr. Taylor is a former SEAL turned politician!
Matthew McCabe and his supporters!
