I was so upset yesterday when I went to times’ web site and saw their choice of a cover. I wanted to hit my monitor. The rage and sadness that consumed me was very deep. I have seen the life size bronze statues of the rising of our flag by those brave men on that little island called
Iwo Jima. I stood there and cried for the valor, for the commitment, for the goal and deep understanding that these men, not those few who raised the standard of our nation. But, those who fought bravely from one little island rock to the next. The men who flew the air craft to defend our nation. Then to see this depiction! What do they want us to receive from it, the depiction? Do the ask us to place Al Gore in his effort to drive America back to the nineteenth century on the same level as these MEN? Are we to except his depiction of global warming as a flag to rise in the form of a tree? Have they, the time Warner people become, become converts to the “church of the global warming?” Yes, I am a little more in control of
Mervi today. I do not believe in the THEORY of the c.g.w. there are far too many other sources of information that are in direct opposition to this scheme. To list a few, NASA, Society of Meteorologist, the pope of the c.g.w. has refused over four-hundred times to debate his belief.
"At approximately 10:20 a.m., the flag was hoisted on a steel pipe above the island. The sight of the small American flag flying from atop Mount
Suribachi thrilled men all over the island. And for the first time during WWII, an American flag was flying above what was considered traditional Japanese territory. This symbol of victory sent a wave of strength to the battle-weary fighting men below, and struck a further mental blow against the island's defenders” (

I hope to be like the Marine in the front, weapon at ready, face determined to defend, with the goal to protect those who hold HIGH the standard of our great and wonderful country.
GOD BLESS THE GOOD OLD U.S.A.
Mervi
