Saluting a Real Defender of American Values

A hearty Independence Day salute and “Thank You” 
to Army Sgt. Eric Browy of Charlotte, NC.

What One Soldier Gained From His Loss – Charlotte Observer

He wandered into the Army four years ago, at 19, straight from flunking out of UNC Charlotte. (“I was out partying too much.”) He didn’t have many other options. He served one year-long tour and four months of another in Iraq before the accident that sent him back to the States.

He’s not who he was, and the Fourth isn’t what it was. Independence Day means more when you’ve seen a land without it, and when you’ve left some of your own independence there.

“As long as we remember why we have it [freedom] and how we got it, that’s all that matters.”

And he thinks about the people who came before him, American soldiers in other wars who lost blood, limbs, lives. Browy’s part of a chain now. Before, he didn’t even realize the chain existed.

“I just appreciate those people who fought for us, and that’s in Vietnam, World War II, anybody,” he said. “Because without those people, we wouldn’t have what we have.”

A true American hero.  Volunteering and standing up to fight terrorists so the rest of us can continue to enjoy America’s freedoms.

God Bless you, Sgt. Browy and your family.

If you truly do Support The Troops, you must also Trust The Troops.  Trust them in their battlefield, trust them to finish their mission with honor and ensure the Middle East moves from dictatorship to democracy.

Finally, to the GP Lib Moonbats Trolls (TM):  If you really do support the troops, then put your money where your platitudes are… Try here.  Or here.  Or here.  These brave Americans have volunteered to protect this nation so you don’t have to.  Think about that while you are trashing your country on daily basis and defending the civil rights of terrorists who want to kill you.  If you do not support, trust and help the troops — then yes, I strongly question your patriotism.

  3. Great logic, Bruce. Really! Nice work, man.

    Care to explain how fighting insurgents in Iraq, who wouldn’t be blowing up our soldiers had we not attacked the country, is fighting “terrorists” who put our freedoms at risk?

    Never mind.

    I feel sooooo put in my place.

  4. From the post

    Finally, to the GP Lib Moonbats Trolls ™: If you really do support the troops, then put your money where your platitudes are. … These brave Americans have volunteered to protect this nation so you don’t have to.

    Sorry to have to point this out, but, unless you are blogging from the Green Zone in Baghdad with an M16 (or whatever it is now) over your shoulder, I haven’t noticed you having volunteered to protect this nation from the Iraqis, either. What gives?

    You know, the Iraqis…who would have had to attack the US like the Duchy of Grand Fenwick did in the book The Mouse That Roared to have had any effect. The book was fiction. Like more than a few of the posts I see around here.

  8. Furthermore, didn’t your woman Ann Coulter just get done spewing about how victims aren’t to be held up to make arguments? And what do you go and do….? Disappoint the bitch.

  9. LOL! Good point, Jimmy.

    Poor Ann. She turns out, despite her absurdly useless footnotes, to be a plagiarizer. Just another example of the way the far right treats any notion of truth. And they call liberals “relativists.”
