This alert from Moving America Forward actually arrived the other day, but I was behind on reading email due to much busy-ness of late.

The author of the alert, Joseph Williams, is a Vietnam vet himself and the father of a United States Marine who died fighting for the continued freedom of the Iraqi people.

Fellow Americans:

I’m so very proud of my son who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

He knew the mission was important, and he understood that the war in
Iraq was central to the war on terrorism.

Sadly, my son (Lance Cpl. Michael Jason Williams) lost his life in
combat in this war. My life changed forever when I got a knock at my door,
informing me that Michael had been killed in action. My son is my hero.

As a father, I can’t tell you what a gut-wrenching blow it was, and
still is. Not a day goes by I don’t think about my child. But the
Anti-American, anti-war crowd that pretends to ’support the military, but not
the mission’ are a pack of liars.

Some people, like Cindy Sheehan and Michael Moore, have tried to
exploit the death of Michael and others who lost their lives in Iraq, in
order that they might advance their far left political agenda.

If we don’t stand up to the Cindy Sheehans, Michael Moore’s and the
politicans who are using Michael’s death to further their agenda of
undermining our Commander-in-Chief, then Michael Jason William’s devotion to
this great country will be rendered meaningless.

I know from bitter experience.

I am a Vietnam veteran.

I don’t know what is so hard for the people in today’s anti-war
movement to understand. Radical Islamic Extremists are determined to kill
Americans and destroy our way of life.

In Iraq the terrorist insurgency is led by a fellow named Zarqawi, his
position is the leader of “Al Qaeda in Iraq” yet the anti-war crowd
marches through our streets proclaiming that the war in Iraq has nothing
to do with the war against terrorism.

Well, I’ve had enough of the misguided, anti-military and even
anti-American rhetoric from the anti-war crowd. They seem to be rooting for
our enemies more than our own troops at times.

So I’ve decided to help fight back.

I’ve leant my voice and my story - and the story of my son’s sacrifice
for his nation - to Move America Forward, for them to use in a national
radio ad campaign.
