Some News About Webb

[trayfoot]

Received this email this afternoon:


Dear ,

I wanted to send a note to you today, as a supporter of Jim's campaign and someone who cares about the direction of this country. As many of you know, Jim's son Jimmy, an infantry Lance Corporal in the Marine Corps, has been scheduled to be deployed to Iraq for a number of months. In the last few days, Jimmy learned he would be deploying next week. While Labor Day is the traditional kickoff to the Election and Jim already made many commitments to do events throughout the state, including events with Governor Tim Kaine and Governor Mark Warner, we hope you understand at this time that Jim wants to have time with his son. He will be taking Jimmy back to Camp Lejeune on Monday and will spend time with him and his unit before their deployment.

Jim wishes to emphasize that he is not unlike the thousands of parents and families who are sending their children and loved ones to war but that it is important to him that he has some private moments with his son before he deploys. Regardless of the political aspects of this war and your feelings towards it, it's important we keep our thoughts and prayers with the soldiers we are sending into harm's way.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Jessica Vanden Berg
Campaign Manager
Webb for Senate

1. My Nephew is leaving next week too

He is a Navy corpsman with the Marines at Camp LeJeune, I wonder if he is in the platoon with Jimmy. We are going to pick him up this weekend, he said he wanted one more home cooked meal. I am going to be so upset when we take him back Monday. May God be with them all.
When I hear those idiot chickenhawks swiftboat someone who served I want to tar & feather them all. I want Webb to win so bad, Allen is such a jerk & his son sounds like a spoiled brat..

Enjoy your time together this weekend and let him know, despite the FUBAR mission, we appreciate his dedication and service.

11. Oorah.

Your nephew will be with the best. Maybe I say that because my son's in the same biz.

They are on a mission to rescue the US military from Bush's folly.

I pray for his safe return. And that this damn war ends soon! :patriot:

Oh by the way perhaps Young Anthony Mantova of the Leadership Institute, can learn about what truly leadership is all about. You can read about his story here.

3. What I admire about this................

is that Webb put his family - son - before his political future. That speaks volumes to me! Shows he has his priorities straight.

10. Good for you - kick some Allen ass!

Where are you in the Valley? I used to live in Winchester and went to college in Blacksburg - and I always loved driving backroads everywhere along the way. Beautiful country and fascinating history.
