Veteran Supporter's Comments
"The arrogant ignorance of Mr. Obama is, like the agnorant ignorance of those who blindly support him, the biggest threat to this country and the freedom we enjoy. While I strongly disagree with Mr. McCain on some issues, his courage and his service to this country make it very clear that he understands the challenges of preserving liberty. He is a man in whom Americans can place their trust; trust that the right calls will be made in times of challenge."
Roger L. Cole, Mobile, AL
"Our fighting men and women deserve a commander who understands the world suituition. A commander who will protect his resourses and use them wisely. Only John McCain has such experience."
Max A. Clark, Kettering OH
"All I can say is I trust John McCain."
Fred J. Dileo, Collegeville, PA
"You can thank General Wes for convincing a devoted Democrat to vote for the qualified candidate this year."
Thomas D. Sutton, Murrells Inlet, SC
"[I flew] 100 missions over N. Viet Nam, shot down in Mu Gia pass but rescued. John McCain is the only fully qualified candidate for President of the US."
Gregory A. Kuehner, OH
"Our troops deserve a qualified Commander in Chief. Senator McCain is qualified, mr. obama is not.
-'nuff said"
Hal G. Borowiak, Aurora, IL
"As a two-time, Purple Heart recipient in the War on Terror, (one in Lebanon and one in Iraq), I strongly believe in protecting this Nation, and I feel Senator McCain not only feels the same way, but also, unlike his opponent in the upcoming election, Senator McCain has the intestinal fortitude to make the decisions needed to get the tasks at hand completed. The safety and FREEDOM of my children comes first!"
Larry W. Gill, Semmes, AL
"This country is/has going to pot and we need a Vet as Comander of our Armed Forces and this country."
David A. Murphy, Sterling, VA
"As proud to stand up for a Viet Nam Vet like McCain as I was ashamed of a Viet Nam Vet like John Kerry!!!"
Warren P. Sweeney, Whiting, NJ
"As a veteran, I feel that Barack Obama's policies in iraq will surely cost me a few friends."
Nick Houghton, Sarasota, FL
"We are losing our Republic. Unless this is re-found, we will lose our Nation. We are a Government of the People, by the People and for the People. Not a Government of the Government , by the Government and for the Government. We are a Nation under God for all Religions under God."
Gerald M. Steinberg, Paris, VA
"I believe John to be the real thing, he's walked the walk, been there done that. I'm a democrat but I won't hesitate to vote GOP. McCain will provide the leadership that we need at this time in our history, he has a proven track record of working in a bipartisan way to get things done. The opposition can't say that because it hasn't happened. We need straight talk and clear headed decisions, not empty, flowery rhetoric."
Paul B. Stone, Harrisburg, OR
"Captain McCain, You are a hero and a "Great American". You can expect my vote in November. Keep your head high - and win the election. My warmest regards to your family."
A. Vic Poillucci, Woodbridge, VA
"Proud Vietnam Veteran Supporting A True American Hero For PRESIDENT."
Prentice C. Dawkins, Rockingham, NC
"As a retired Army Colonel I support Senator McCain right down the line. He is the only candidate who is qualified to implement the National Security Strategy of the United States, or the National Military Policy. His opponent is well educated and articulate, but has absolutely no integrity whatsoever. His political views approach Marxism, and are congruent with the failed policies of th LBJ era. If his opponent gets into office it will take this country 30 years to correct the mess he would leave behind."
John W. Harden, Jr., Atlanta, GA
"McCain is the clear choice as our country's CIC."
J. D. Scott, Missoula, MT
"The election of Obama will result in the destruction of this great nation. We cannot allow this to happen."
Connie Brownson, Driftwood, TX
"We need a real man to lead this country and not Obama false promises and prophecy."
Ron Moore, KY
"Military service should be a requirment for anyone wishing to serve as Commander In Chief. Only someone who has served is qualified to lead our armed forces."
Corey W. Forde, Mililani, HI
"I am serving in Iraq at this time. This is my third deployment over here. I don't believe anyone should speak for the vets unless they have been in some situaiton as the soldiers are in today. For Obama to say he speaks for all vets, he doesn't know how wrong he is. He needs to live like the vets and go through what the vets go through before he speakes for them."
A Soldier in Iraq
"The person who wants to be my President I must have complete trust and respect for. John McCain is that person."
Douglas A. Johnson, Rochester, MN
"I am a disabled Vietnam veteran who served during the time of Mccain's imprisonment and I have a pretty good idea of the hell he endured for his country. I am sure that it was his thoughts of freedom like my own that kept him alive and I will fight next to him anytime. God bless him for his new battle!"
William E. Duquette, St Augustine, FL
"Obama does not have the right to speak for us. Rangers Lead the Way!!!"
Michael R. Johnson, TX
"I am a three service veteran, USMC, USN, USAF, 1974 to present and I have never been happier to support a presidential candidate as much as I am to support John McCain."
Michael C. McDermott, Newburgh, NY
"I think Sen. McCain is by far the best candidate for President. He has the experience, he understands the Military and what needs to be done to protect America. I do believe, however, that he needs to start being a little tougher on the Democrat nominees. When you have links to terrorists and radical religious ministers, you have to be able to take advantage of this and call Sen. Obama to publicly state his reasons for these connections. We cannot have people running for the Nation's highest office that support anti-American views. A Korean Vet and proud member of the VFW and American Legion."
Alan Setherley, Tucson, AZ
"We need to be the foot soldiers in the McCain Army."
Jarred A. Fishman, Rockville, MD
"Am I the only one irritated that Obama is wearing a USMC T-shirt while playing basketball on TV? If you didn't earn it, don't wear it. Mac's the only one who has the right to wear a BTDT shirt, none of the others do."
Raymond C. Hoover Jr., Athens, GA
"I'm an Iraq vet and Vets For Freedom member. Go McCain!"
Michael Honeycutt, MN
"As a veteran of both Vietnam and Operation Iraqi Freedom, I not only support John McCain, I believe it is an historic imperative that he be elected President in 2008. With the threats facing America and the world, we need a leader who has proven his mettle in the heat of battle and a man whose courage is unquestioned by virtue of his deeds. God help us if either Democrat is elected."
Chuck Grist, FL
"I certainly do not agree with John McCain on all his positions, especially his stand last year regarding amnesty for illegals in this country. But at the same time I also realize if we do not support this Republican nominee we are going to end up with one of the [most undesireable] results this country has ever experienced. Barack Obama is not fit to be Commander in Chief of this Nation. If he gets that position as a result of anyone reading this who did not support McCain, then you will live to regret that choice with great lament!"
Robert Rohrer, Bermuda Run, NC
"Senator McCain, Thank you for your service in Viet Nam, and your years in Congress. As future President of our great Nation, stick to your guns on backing the Military, and continue to help make us stronger, you'll always have OUR support and look forward to you becoming my CINC! Thank you Sir!"
Michael P. Brady, Abilene, TX
"God bless John McCain for both his Miltary Service, and Service in the Senate."
Michael A. Danese, Cedar Grove, TN
"[Iım] searching for vet for McCain bumper stickersI am a 1LT with the 2BCT of 2ID just returning
from duty in Southeast Baghdad, Iraq and am a strong McCain supporter"
1LT David S Ferstl, Colorado Springs, CO
"Looking for vet bumper sticker for my son returning from Iraq. My wife Mary Ann and
army lieutant son are all strong McCain supporters and we will continue to do so!"
James H. Ferstl, Fresno, CA
"America needs a leader who has served his country and understands the hardships the people in uniform go through."
Kevin L. Minor, MA
"I served in the military under President Reagan, President Bush, & President Clinton & I watched the morale plummet after Clinton took office. We deserve to get back to work & focus on what's important, defense, not on feel good programs that the soldiers have to take. I agree that our soldiers need to be held responsible for their actions and/or disrespect to others, while at the same time focusing our efforts on helping the weak & those who long to be free. You can tell the virtue of a country by how many want to get in & how many want to get out."
James E. Pfost, Jr., Nampa, ID
"Finding the other candidates to be nothing more than socialists, I support Senator McCain wholeheartedly."
David Wick, Sewell. NJ
"Finally, a candidate with integrity, honor, loyalty."
Dennis N. Blackmore, Virginia Beach, VA
"John McCain looks out for the military, both active, guard, reserves, and retired. He is by far the best potential President in these hard times. No nation who loves peace ever wants to go to war and place our military in harm's way, but this nation has been attacked by demonically led Osama Bin Laden and we need a man who FULLY understands the military need of this nation to keep it free and to crush its enemies."
Robert J. Seals, Sr., Chandler, AZ
"I was first an Army paratrooper and later a Navy pilot. I'm also a Vietnam vet and retired from the Navy after 25 years combined service. I believe in the value and need for our military and the mission it's been given in the War on Terror, whether in Iraq, Afganistan or elsewhere. Today, I'm a small business owner. I also believe in a free and sovereign America: individual freedom, religious freedom, the right to life, national security, a free economy, fiscal responsibility and freedom from unneccessary government intrusion in our lives. The ideas and positions put forth by Fred Thompson strongly resonate with me and I hope they'll be carried forward. I entered adulthood as a Democrat but today I'm a Republican because the Democrat Party no longer shares my core beliefs. I believe John McCain is now our best bet to protect and advance the values and traditions I and most Americans believe in. That's why I'll vote for him in November for President of the United States."
Terrell W. Fulbright
"When I hear the word "change" they mean to go back to the ways of the Clinton Administration. Back to a socialist rule and to ignore the rule of law.....I wouldn't trust Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama to petsit my cats because they would mess that up. They talk to much out of each side of there mouth and they're both dangerous."
Carl S. Wolf, Cheyenne, WY
"This man, John McCain, is the people's man. John McCain has earned our respect the hard way.
The only person who can truly understand what John has been through, would be another Prisoner of War. The rest of us can truly understand how much that we value our Freedom and all of our Liberties, but we can never know the true price until we have been put to such a test. As for me and my wife, we want to have a President who understands our basic rights. And one who also knows what it's like to lose them."
David McKee, High Springs, FL
"I'm a believer in our great country, our preservation of the 2nd ammendment and the support of an unselfish proven Leader."
James N. Palladino, Austin, TX
"John McCain is absolutely the only one qualified to be Commander in Chief. Hillary and Obama command no respect and have absolutely no experience or leadership ability. For the good of our country as we know it, it is imperative that we all turn out to vote for John McCain."
James S. Steele, Jacksonville, FL
"As a veteran, McCain is the only remaining candidate I can support to continue to prosecute the war to a successful conclusion."
Tom Whitfield, Carrollton TX
"I think Mr McCain is the only candidate qualified to become the leader of the US of A. Obama is too inexperienced and Clinton thinks she knows everthing. I shutter to think of what would happend if she were elected."
Jack Wetzel, TX
"Fellow Vets, Im a Fred Thompson supporter, but as we know, he is gone. So, John McCain is our only Hope in this Presidential Race. Im with him now."
Mike Podemski, Willow Springs, MO
"I have voted for Senator McCain in Arizona. I have watched his carreer. This man will lead us to victory over the Jihadist. I don't always agree with what he says. I do know that he means what he says and keeps his promises. John McCain is a true American hero and a brother in arms."
Todd Boggs, Boise ID
"In this day and time we as a nation need a warrior, not a wimp."
Gene Stillings, Manchester, TN
"FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY, WE MUST WIN"
Robert E. Farris, Sr., Greenville, SC
"There is no mistaking it, we are at a crossroads in this Country, all must rise to the call to re-establish the United States as a world leader willing to work with international officials of government to resolve conflicts around the world. As we have been focused on Iraq, and we should be, there still is unrest and war in other parts of the world which have our interests at stake. We will need a leader posed to step in immediately and take action. Not take time to "learn the Ropes". We need Mr. John McCain now, no other man will be able to handle the job that is needed. Stand with him now or realize the grave danger our Country will be in if we fail to elect Mr. McCain."
Jeffrey La Berdia, Concord, NC
"I cannot imagine anyone of the three people who are running for POTUS and CinC except John McCain."
William Lawrence, KY
"America needs a man that has paid the price for freedom to run this country and not a person that does not put his hand over his heart when we pledge our flag or sing our anthem. We also do not need a person that so power hungry that she would stay with a man that has the reputation that Mr. Clinton has. We need a person of courage,experience and leadership."
Earl Keeling, Kingwood, TX
"... John McCain is by far the better choice for the USA of the remaning three candidates. And, I pledge my full support to John McCain."
James Broyles, VA
"It's an honor to support this true American hero and patriot. Very few people can come near the bravery this man has displayed in his service for his country. As a Navy vet in Jacksonville, FL... I SALUTE YOU AND PRAY FOR YOUR SUCCESS!!!"
Debra R. Monahan, FL
"John McCain is the only possible sane alternative to the Obama-Clinton appeasement train. "
Edwin R. Robinson, Dale City, VA
"Our country is in deep trouble if either of the democrates get elected. One is a 1960's anti-war activist, fact imbelisher who can't remember what she said or did. The other is just plain anti-american, with a different kind of agenda and belief, whom wants to cut and run from Iraq."
Eric Galant, Millington, MI
"We need a Commander-in-Chief with the willpower you have displayed. We're in to win."
James F. Widener, South Burlington, VT
"While not conservative enough for me on social, immigration and economic issues, I am compelled to support the only candidate remotely worthy of consideration in the remaining field. I suspect I will be a vigorous critic when McCain is elected, but I am committed to ensuring McCain gets elected. The alternative is too embarrassing and depressing to consider..."
Kevin Hanson, Minneapolis, MN
"Everyday of my life I have been proud to be an American; it is not just recently as some might say. Senator McCain represents all of us who consider ourselves to be patriots. It is essential to defeat those who are not so proud to be an American. God Bless America and God Bless John McCain in his bid to become our Commander in Chief.....a CinC that we can all be proud to serve."
Gene W. James, CA
"These dangerous times call for a Rock Solid Commander In Chief. There is really no choice at all.
McCain in 2008 !!!!"
Nickolas P. Marshall, Minnetonka, MN
"Vote for Senator McCain or you are voting for change we can't afford."
David G. Kulasiewicz, Chesapeake Beach, MD
"We cannot afford one of the MoveOn.org types in the Whitehouse. Lets get John the job!"
Stephen C. Heitzer, Coopersburg, PA
"All other issues pale in comparison to National Security and who will lead our military in a positive way for the welfare of our country. John McCain is by far the best candidate in this arena."
Wayne W. Baldwin, Phoenix, AZ
"Hillary did me a great favor with her ad that asks, " Who do you want to answer the phone in the White House at 3:00 AM ?". It sure as hell is NOT Hillary or Obama. I want someone who knows where our carriers are and knows how to use them. I DON'T want someone to call Nancy Pelosi, form a committee, 'take it under advisement' and then try to locate our carriers."
Bob Hardwick, Houston, TX
"Senator John McCain is the only real choice at this point in the Presidential race. I don't want a second Clinton, because we'll have the first Clinton also. I don't want Obama as President because he is too controversial and liberal."
James O. McVey, Culloden, WV
"We are now engaged with an enemy of the world that dates back to the Biblical times. One that has been beaten many times before only to resurface and gorge at the freedom of all nations in the world. The American Veterans have pledged their service and their lives in the name of freedom, against oppression and social survival. Veterans possess the discipline and understanding of what is required of one to lead and this person is one of our own... John McCain.
Tempered in the fires of Hell, brought before the enemy in judgement and returned to his homeland, John McCain will lead our nation in the name of freedom, prosperity and liberty, forged over two-hundred years ago. One only needs to look into his eyes once to measure his love of our nation and our people. As standard-bearers, we trust him, stand beside him and will fight with him against all that would destroy us. Give them Hell John McCain and together we will close the gates to Hell... one final time. God Bless you and God Bless America."
Daniel O. Jacob, Armada, MI
"Democrats have serious problems understanding the terrorists we face. A party that impugns and dishonors the integrity of great men, with increasingly disturbing signals of weakness, doubt and division has no place in our White House. Their aim is simply power for themselves not protection for the American People. Our country is at War at home. Democrats and fanatics are attempting a hostile take-over of our way of life by feeding us propaganda, Defeatist ideals and policies.
Americans want Leadership, not partisan victories leaving the nation polarized, unprotected in a war our soldiers are not allowed to win or leave. There can be no 'maybe' in our collective voice to defend our country. There isn't time for a Presidency beholden to groups of elite fanatics fought, won on hate. The battle for the Presidency is now! The current administrations inability to function properly throughout the Iraq engagement has sprung the citizens' doubts about its legitimacy. One man has from day one unwaveringly stated his criticism and the course of action needed for victory.
In 1954 a young man began his first year at the U.S. Naval Academy. In 1973 That young man and nearly 600 POWs were released from the longest wartime incarceration in U.S. history. In 2005 The Eisenhower Institute awarded him the Eisenhower Leadership Prize; recognizing an individuals lifetime Accomplishments perfectly reflecting Dwight Eisenhower's legacy of integrity and leadership! That man is our first and best line of defense. That man came on a bus today to rally public support before entering in yet another battle on our behalf.
Lincoln once said; "With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as
God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan - to do all which may achieve and cherish a Just and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations."
History must be written of, by and for the survivors. If we are truly to be the survivors, it will be because men like John McCain led us there."
Sheridan B. Folger, Dover, NH
"Senator McCain will continue to take the fight to the terrorist, support our military, and win the war in Iraq and Afghanistan not cut bait and run. He is the only one of the three now running who can answer that 3AM telephone call and know what to do."
Nicholas Caliendo, Norman, OK
"As a veteran I can add my total support to Sen. McCain. We need someone that has been through what is needed to make serious and difficult decisions. I served in Gitmo Bay Cuba, during the Cuban Missle Crisis and know how important our military is to the security of the country. I do not believe either of the Dems have what it takes, Also hate their domestic policies. Taxes, healthcare etc... We all need to support Sen McCain."
Jerry Bell, Jefferson City, TN
"As A WWII veteran, America needs a Commander in chief whou understands that we all must be safe. While the Democrats just don't understand that if we leave Iraq now, more problems will arise. If the US didn't get involved in WW II against the Germans and keep pushing with our allies we would all be speaking German today!!!"
Norman Spagnolo, Bernardsville, NJ
"Let's get this warrior elected."
Stephen W. Vann, Virginia Beach,VA
"I believe this may be the most important election of my lifetime. The thought of a BHO or HRC presidency is frightening. They are both extreme liberals but truth be told, the BHO possibility is even worse then the HRC one. For a taste of the future, see the video on Fox News concerning the religious leader of BHO's chosen church of the last 20 years. I think we may be about to let a fox in the hen house if we can't get the Republicans excited about this race."
Jose M. Gonzalez, Franklin, WV
"The most important issue today is national security. Without a Commander in Chief who is an experienced and determined defender and leader of our military and it's mission, our nation will suffer immensely. John McCain stands head and shoulders above his competition in this area and in this campaign."
R. M. "Rusty" Howell, Washington, PA
"War in IRAQ and on Terror must be won!"
John G. Ellis, Ellisville, MS
"Give 'Em Hell McCain!!!"
Kieran Lalor, Peekskill, NY
"As an Iraqi vet I recognize the absolute necessity for us to be there and finish the job."
Jesse A. Marcel, MT
