FROM THE CHAIRMAN'S TOC ...

Coalition Members, Fellow Veterans, American Patriots:

Memorial Day, the "official" day set aside to commemorate our fallen comrades will soon be here. We, however, reflect on our fallen comrades frequently throughout the calender year. Memorial Day is so designated so that our fellow citizens should remember the sacrifices of our fallen comrades to ensure the freedom of our nation. Sadly, a great proportion of the American populace take the sacrifices of our military for granted. They spend Memorial Day enjoying barbecues, shopping opportunities, etc., and fail to remember those whose sacrifices enabled them to enjoy their freedom. Memorial Day, like a religious holiday, is a spiritual, holy, and thought-provoking day to those of us who have served and lost friends and family in the service of our country. We shall always honor the memory of those who have fallen, and never-ever forget those who have not returned, our prisoners of war and missing in action. We ask the Almighty to give them solace and to give polititians the courage and motivation to resolve the POW/MIA issue.

We encourage those of you who are able to join our friends from Rolling Thunder in Washington, D.C. and/or Task Force Omega of Kentucky at L.Z. Rainelle in West Virginia during the Memorial Day weekends, or to join in your community activities on Memorial Day to honor those who have made the supreme sacrifice in the service of our nation.

Remember that freedom is NOT FREE and should NEVER be taken for granted. In this present political climate it appears that our freedom may be in jeopardy. If you value your freedom and wish to preserve it, you must be willing to sacrifice for it, like those who have died fighting for it, or risk losing it, for yourselves and posterity.

The 2008 election may very well be the most important in our lifetime or, perhaps, in the history of the United States of America considering the tremendous challenges that our nation faces. The candidates should be judged by a greater moral and patriotic standard.



When we evaluate those candidates who seek the office of "President of the United States," we should consider whether "any" of them would be capable of abiding by the Code of Conduct by which American military personnel are guided. Many members of the military have given their lives abiding by the principles of the "Code."

In retrospect, it would appear that a number of America's chief executives (and cabinet members), past and present, would not have been able or would be unwilling to abide by the principles which guide our military; yet our military personnel would suffer severe criticism or even death if they failed to do so. The office of President should never be available to anyone perceived to be unwilling to or incapable of abiding by the "Code."

Chairman
