1. The media is using the 'pro Bush mom' to redeem ...

.... rather than highlighting the pro-Bush MORON who tore the place up in the first place.

We can't give them a pass simply because one woman has some sense.

[THX1138]

9. I agree

It really is disgusting. The hero of the story ends up being a freaking bush supporter! Oh and look, there are a bunch of evil "anti-war protesters" trying to stop her from her saintly work. I voted all those featuring this woman at one star. Get a clue lady, The crosses wouldn't be there in the first place if it weren't for that dildo in the WH.

[pecwae]

2. That last photo

A heartrending statement.

[rodeodance]

3. only 10 votes thus far folks.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

4. Because people just... don't... give... a... fuck.

:patriot:

[Imagevision]

13. and some repugs are just too damn ignorant...!

[ocean girl]

5. I voted on all of them!

[pecwae]

15. As did I

[Endangered Specie]

6. I think we should build more of those type of memorials

Not just in Texas, for every one they vandalize, we should put up TWO in response.

7. Jackie Kennedy was asked to change her bloody clothes - she said

"No, I want them to see what was done.."the full quote could probably be found in Manchester's book

She was right

In this instance, I think I would have left the broken ones on the ground and put new ones behind the fallen ones..

To let everyone see what was done

[Cha]

8. Two people from

Ithaca, NY..my neck of the woods..I'm so proud of them.

[Greybnk48]

10. voted them all, and I agree

that more of these memorials should be put up. My husband posts the death toll on his car updating it daily.

11. Kicking

Just before I left camp Monday morning, an older vet asked me to put out a request for flowers for the crosses, since many of them had no flowers. Don't need big bouquets (not room for large arrangements anyway), just small bunches.

I have to tell you the crosses memorial was so moving I really had a hard time even going over to see them, but I did several times. The pictures displayed by the Gold Star Families made me more determined than ever to work towards bringing all the troops home safe to their loved ones.

12. You can't let the flags lay on the ground

That's our flag, not the flag of the rightwingers!

[williesgirl]

14. Just did them all plus the story re man letting her use his property
