Marine Mom Deborah Johns - Video

I listened with interest the video above. It features Marine Mom, Deborah Johns. She speaks about her feelings stating that Obama is not faithful to our military. As a Blue Star mom (Army Mom), I can relate to what she is saying and admire her for putting herself out there to speak for herself and her family. She speaks for herself, of course, but she also speaks for a lot of us who have had our sons and daughters in the war zone. We understand, possibly better than anyone, the price that is paid when our military is not supported and funded by our Representatives in Congress and the Senate.

Johns is speaking in support of Our Country Deserves Better, a group of rallies that will be held across the country between October 15th to the 29th. The schedule and a map of the route can be viewed at their website. You can also read an interview with Johns at the Monoblogue.

I have never had any political involvement prior to becoming involved with Move America Forward and/or Our Country Deserves Better. All of this was because of a request my son made and God laid this on my heart to do the right thing. Casey Sheehan was killed in April 2004 from volunteering to be a convoy driver to drive supplies to a forward Marine Unit (my son was in that forward exploratory unit), Casey’s convoy went the wrong way and his vehicle was hit by an IED. In May of 2004, Cindy Sheehan had begun to make a lot of noise against President Bush and the War. My son called home at Mother’s Day, and asked what was going on back in the states, and questioned why the American people don’t support the troops any longer. William told me about all the good things that the troops were accomplishing, and asked me, “Mom please don’t let us come home to another Vietnam.” So that is when I began to appear on talk radio shows, television news programs, and speak out at public events and rallies – to tell the stories of what the troops were doing. Things have just blossomed from there and others have been inspired to start up their own non-profit organizations to support the troops, and their families.

Well said! Semper Fi and HOOAH!
