We have some good buzz going into today's ceremony to present the Appeal For Courage to Congress.
There's Scott Johnson at Powerline,
The Dawn Patrol from Greyhawk at the Mudville Gazette,
Michelle Malkin at michellemalkin.com (aka SPC Travis Quinlan's favorite website)
Chad the Elder at Fraters Libertas,
Spree at Wake Up America.
the Army Times has us off the opinion pages and on to the news,
W Thomas Smith Jr at The National Review Online
and a quick mention at The Politico.

That I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the State of Minnesota against all enemies, foreign and domestic. The ravings of an infantryman far and long from the home he left, but trying to find his place in this world.

Thanks for the mention ans the link as well as the email.
Great job ya'll are doing on more than one front, which isn't fair to you, yet you don't complain.
I sooooo wish we could all do more to help.

Thank you so much for doing this. I'm a vet, so it drives me crazy I can't sign on to this, but I want you to know that I have written e-mails to the Washington Post and the New York Times, and 60 Minutes about you guys two times to try to encourage them to report on you. They can't say they haven't heard about this!!! They just refuse to write about it. We'll see who reports about it tomorrow. The politicians also need to call a press conference to advertise it.. The more pub, the more signatures you will get.
Take care and hang in there!
