My Son, a United States Marine
By: Della T. Austin, Harrisburg, NC
I am writing this in hope that it will open some eyes, enrage, and
disgust everyone that reads it.
I am a PROUD mother of a U.S. Marine.
My eyes have been opened and I am now enraged and disgusted with OUR
GOVERNMENT!
My son is now in Iraq.
Before he left Camp LeJuene, my side of the family and his wife had to
get money together because my son had to spend over $300 to buy things
he was "REQUIRED" to have in his gear.
If he were missing one thing, he would not have been allowed to come
home on his Block Leave to see his family before being deployed to
Iraq!
Almost $100 of this money had to be spent on a third set of "new and
improved" Digital Cammies.
He was lucky!
He had been issued one set and had already bought a second set.
Some of the Marines were not even issued one set so they spent almost
$300 on just their Cammies.
Money is being deducted from their pay for "equipment".
My son has never really been sure WHAT equipment, but he paid for it.
I was enraged when I found out that the Flack Jacket (their bullet
proof vests) were the woodland version, the ones that are supposed to
blend in with TREES!
No one in Sierra Battery was issued Desert Flack Jackets!
These marines will look like a group of trees in the middle of the
desert!
Soon after my son arrived in Kuwait, his eyes were hurting so bad from
the dust and sand in the air that he could hardly stand to blink.
He noticed some Marines were wearing eye-protectors.
He asked where they had gotten them.
A Marine told him that he was "ISSUED" a pair.
Sierra Battery was NOT issued any!
My son had to spend another $100 at the PX to buy himself a pair TO
PROTECT HIS EYES!!
Wouldn’t you think that if the soldiers need their eyes protected in
the environment our government is sending them into, that the military
would make sure to issue a pair to every single soldier?!
HOW DARE THEY!!!
President Bush said we "must support our military personnel."
I did not know he meant literally!
Support with money to buy equipment they MUST have because it is
required or needed to protect their health, eyes, and for their VERY
LIVES!!
What in the hell is $137 BILLION paying for?
The new rifles they were supposed to be issued were not.
Some military personnel do have the new rifles that have been modified
for the desert conditions.
NOT MY SON!
How many of our sons, daughters, husbands, and wives are in this
situation?
Do we need to buy their rifles also??
Support our Military?
Why is the government not fully supporting and protecting our
Military?
Issue everything they need or do not send them until they have it!
I was not fortunate enough to have been born RICH.
I have to scrounge to help my son.
My family, his wife, and her family got together to help my son
purchase everything he was "required" to have.
I have met other Marines and their families who are in the same
situation.
Apparently our "Commander and Chief" meant SEND YOUR MONEY TO SUPPORT
YOUR CHILDREN AND RELATIVES, because the government is unable to do
so.
This administration is NOT PUTTING THEIR MONEY WHERE THEIR MOUTH IS!!
This is just one reason why I will vote for Senator Kerry!
I believe that under his command, all or our Military personnel will
be treated fairly and equally.
I also believe that he will have a PLAN to bring ALL our children
home!
I also support Senator Kerry because I believe if the need arises to
call again on our Military, President Kerry will not send our children
into situations without everything they need to protect themselves and
their lives!
I sent my letter to John Kerry but I also sent it to the following
people.
President George W. Bush, Representative Robert S. Rangel/Committee on
Armed Services, Senator John Warner/Committee on Armed Services,
Representative Robin Hayes, and Senator Elizabeth Dole.
The only people who cared enough to read my letter and respond was
John Kerry’s office.
I wonder why no one else cared!

Interesting, this "Mother of a U.S. Marine" doesn't even know how to
spell Camp Lejeune.
Another fabrication by the Kerry camp's Ministry of Truth.

It seems LeJuene is also an accepted spelling.

Herre, liar, here's the article from an American mother that you snipped so
you could lie about it. I'm sure her son has been punished for her letter by
now, so a repeat can't hurt.

I would NEVER lie about or denigrate a GENUINE letter from an American
mother about a son in the Marines. The misspelling of "Camp Lejeune"
(assuming that you copied this from a Web page as opposed to mistyping
it yourself), however, suggests to me that this letter was made up-- the
way it was Winston Smith's job to invent fictional heroes for Oceania in
"1984." (Just like that 1970s-vintage letter about Bush in Rathergate
seems to have been printed from Microsoft Word, on a laser printer.)
It is also believed that at least some members of Kerry's Vietnam
Veterans Against the War were not veterans of any war, nor had they ever
been in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Dumbass. I called my next door neighbor who spent 8 years actually IN the
Marines and asked him to spell it. It took him a couple of tries and he
finally settled on the same spelling as the Marine motherI Except for the
uppercase J.
Do they erase part of your brain when you register Republican?
