Three Navy SEALS face court martial and IMMUNITY (imagine this) is needed to get defense witnesses to come forward. There is something seriously WRONG with our government for this to be needed, let alone the original indictment.

In related news, neither Patrick Murphy, Arlen Specter nor Robert Casey have ANYTHING on their website expressing their views of this disgraceful situation. The silence is deafening and the message of lack of support for our troops is evident in that void.

Likewise, none of the Bucks County Media have done ANY reporting on this topic. The silence can be construed as acceptance of this miscarriage. Why hasn’t the Courier and Intelligencer, et al quizzed young Patrick Murphy (or at least his spokesgirl) about why they are Sooooooooo quiet about 3 NAVY SEALS facing court martial for giving a terrorist a fat lip?

My cousin in Massachusetts whose son is safely home after two Iraq tours sent me this message today. I think it’s a great, timely idea. If you agree, then pass it on, too!

When doing your Christmas cards this year, take one card and send it to the address below. If we pass this on and everyone sends one card, think of how many cards these wonderful, special people who have sacrificed so much would get.

When you are making out your Christmas card list this year, please include the following:

A Recovering American Soldier
c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center

Flag Ceremony

While we are at it, just to update you, the latest Northampton Patriot’s Flag Ceremony was held last night, December 9, 2009, at the Supervisor’s meeting.

Visit this web link, http://animoto.com/play/UxmTTYgLi6ezdV5EDghdXg  and see some of the images from the work of Pete Palestina and our Township’s Veteran’s Advisory Committee.

Also last night, the annual Blue Light Ceremony was held to remember our lost law enforcement heros who have died in service to the communities in Bucks County.

A blue light was illuminated at the Supervisor’s dias  and all were asked to join by showing at least one blue light with their holiday decorations at home.

A Generous Guy Gets His Warm Welcome and Thanks!

Churchville PA –  Both the Warriors Watch and A Hero’s Welcome had a contingent of veterans and veteran motorcyclists greet Stephen at the airport and escorted him and his family to his home in the Churchville section of Northampton Township where neighbors and friends held a big welcome home reception.

Since Emerson was home for only 6 days and no public meeting was scheduled during his leave, his military flag was presented to Stephen by Supervisors Chairman Vincent Deon when he reached his home from the airport, with the help of Peter Palestina from the Marine Corps League.
