		<description>&lt;em&gt;Bellavia — whom you really need to acquaint yourself with&lt;/em&gt;

Read that book months ago, it&#039;s pretty good, especially the climatic one on one ending. But for more action read Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell (VFF) and for more story read Hard Corps by Marco Martinez (VFF). I can&#039;t wait to meet all three of these guys and get their books autographed! I&#039;ll be at the Vets on the Hill rally Tuesday, April 8th. I hope I get to meet some of my fellow HotHeads there.</description>

		<description>I just spoke with Assistant to the Principal Karen McCurdy at Forest Lake HS. FLHS is blaming the cancellation on VFF for the event morphing from an indoor presentation in the auditorium into an outdoor &#039;political&#039; rally. I wonder how this squares with VFF understanding of the agreement they had with the Principal?</description>

		<description>Amazing, public schools have no problems with introducing Sharia law, Koran studies, foot baths and Muslim day where the kids get to dress up like Sheiks, segregated by gender and have a grand time acting like barbarians, how noble and enlightened. But, God help you if you have anything to do with the military.  I just hope our ultimate destruction is quick and total!</description>

		<description>Here is a post from the Mpls Star Tribune article.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Some FLHS students still will attend!
As a student at the High School, I was shocked to learn that the Vets for Freedom Tour stop had been canceled on such short notice. Not only does this trouble me on a personal level...with my dad serving in Iraq and as I prepare to go into the Army this summer, but also it sends a negative message to the community and to other students. I&#039;ve been calling friends all night urging them to miss class to attend this event. We owe it to our men and women in uniform to show our support and gratitude...especially from young Americans!&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Keep Hope alive! And, I&#039;m not talking Obama b.s.</description>

		<description>I was just coming here to post the contact info for Mr. Massey.

Here&#039;s the smail I just sent him:

&lt;blockquote&gt;Principle Massey, 
 
Sir, as a veteran of the United States Army, I cannot tell you how disappointed and disgusted I am by your decision to buckle to a few anti-military parents by canceling the planned visit of Vets for Freedom and Forest Lake alumni Pete Hegseth&#039;s visit to your school. 
 
You claim that you canceled the event for fear that it might become “political”, which only occurred &lt;em&gt;after &lt;/em&gt;anti-war parents politicized it! 
 
You&#039;ve made it clear that your school does not honor patriotism, bravery, and service to our Nation. What a sad, sad lesson in cowardice you have taught your children today. 
 
May I ask if you ever served in the Armed Forces of our Nation, sir? I get the feeling that you have not. 
 
In your message you wrote: 
 
&quot;We have a long history as a public school of recognizing and celebrating what veterans have done for our country...&quot; 
 
It looks like you chose today to end that long history. 
 
Please do this old disabled Veteran a favor, the next time you open your mouth to say, &quot;We support the troops...&quot;, just 
don&#039;t; the lie dishonors us all. 
 
Regards, 
 
Robbie Cooper 
Austin, TX 
Veteran US Army &lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>How sad and unfortunate for the students. I am happy my late Father, a man who was recognized for his courage in the fight for Guadalcanal, does not have to witness this lack of courage on the part of the school principle.</description>
