WeBeBlue and Iraq-vet Son-in-Law on KOMO in Seattle tonight
For Seattle area.
KOMO 4 (ABC) drove down to Montesano Washington where we drove from Bay Center and met them for an interview with Lietta, who's time in Crawford with Cindy Sheehan have been posted by me earlier this week.

However the really powerful interview was with my Iraq-vet son-in-law who just blew me away with what he had to say and how well he expressed it.

Don't anyone ever back off from those who argue that we who oppose the war and the president are hurting troop morale.

Don't anyone ever back off from those who argue that recruits knew what they were getting into.

He was great and I'm so proud of both of them

KOMO will have it on the evening news at 5:00 pm and probably after national ABC news again at 6:30 pm in the Seattle area.

In my opinion, these interviews deserve to be on the national ABC news as well.

Proud Father-in-Law
Proud Husband
Proud Veteran

2. That's awesome,
and always encouraging to hear from a vet's mouth.

If they post video on the station's website, I'd love to see it! :)

6. great!
He makes some good points-active duty soldiers can get into trouble if they tell their true feelings about being in Iraq. He's one brave dude.

4. Just watched it
Very powerful. I see the news felt they had to present "the other side" but it was a token effort at best. I believe the message for peace came through loud and clear. Thank you for the heads up!
