CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. -- The Marines and their families here at this sprawling base on the Carolina coast didn't have much to say about the president's State of the Union address. For many of them, his address the week before had been more important. It was then that they learned many more of them would be heading for Iraq -- and that the tour of duty for those already there would be extended. But amazingly enough, not one of them, despite Democrat bombast and mainstream media remonstrations to the contrary, expressed any anger at the commander in chief for the added sacrifice.

Camp Lejeune is the home base for the 1st Battalion, 6th Marines, the unit our FOX News "War Stories" team was embedded with in Iraq for much of last month. For them, Al Anbar Province, Iraq is the "frontline." For most of their families, Camp Lejeune is the "homefront." We returned here to interview them, and several of the wounded, recuperating in the Wounded Warrior Barracks. Their elan and perseverance give new meaning to the president's words on Tuesday night: "In such courage and compassion ... we see the spirit and character of America -- and these qualities are not in short supply."

Thank you Sir!!! Now if only the "potentates on the Potomac" could get their heads out of their arses, and listen to a sage like Lt.Col.North.......
Then again my DH has a saying, "if a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his as....! Even my DH, who doesn't like our Pres. at all, is sickened by the lack of support of Congress, and the MSM for his brothers and sisters in combat.

I am going to try to email Col.North's editorial to my senators and congressman. If I can't get it to work, then I'll quote some of it in a email to them.
