Memorial Day 2009 – Remembering Fallen Heroes

The Underground Conservative — Mon, 25 May 2009 05:07:52 +0000

Memorial Day.

It’s more than just another day off, a day to go shopping or enjoy a barbecue.

Take a moment to remember our fallen heroes.

Michelle Malkin has a great post about Memorial Day.

Teach your kids about it.

As a veteran myself, I salute those who have fallen and those who are still in harm’s way today.

God bless them and their families and keep them safe.

Another fake anti-war iraq vet

A former mental patient claiming to be an anti-war Iraq veteran got busted. Michelle Malkin has the details:

“Rick Duncan” of Colorado Springs was a prominent anti-war activist who claimed to have served in Iraq on three tours of duty AND survived the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon. He has now been unmasked as a lying mental patient.

Michelle Malkin also notes he’s not the first. This dude had been quoted by media extensively as an authority on veterans’ issues and he was a fake. No doubt it happened because the so-called “journalists” he spoke to wanted to believe he was who he said he was. Finding an anti-war vet, even a fake one, is a like winning the lottery for the left.

Greetings on Veteran’s Day-Photos from the Vietnam Vet Moving Wall

The Moving Wall, a mobile, half-sized version of the famous Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall in Washington, DC, was in my neck of the woods (Miami) this weekend. I went and took some pictures, which are listed below with brief captions.

Also, don’t miss Michelle Malkin’s Veteran’s Day post, it’s loaded with links to a bunch of good sites commemorating our veterans.

To all veterans and our troops, thanks for your service.

This fallen serviceman’s name stood out at me for obvious reasons.

This woman’s name, Pamela Donovan, also stood out at me. She was one of the eight American women who died in the Vietnam War. More information and a memorial web page on Second Lieutenant Pamela D. Donovan can be found here.

First Lieutenant Sharon Lane’s name also caught my eye. Her memorial page is here.
