God Bless Dan McDonald.

This story is the most important story the P.T. has run in the last 20 years. May his deeds and great work fill our hearts to the truly important things we can do for each other. May his name and unselfish life live forever. His story if forgotten will be another piece of our ruin.

A wise choice. The best way to keep it is to murder, rape and torture Iraqis and Afghans. While they never posed any threat to the US, they definitely might have thought about it sooner or later.
While most civilized countries in the world have better protected freedoms than US citizens without invading places and killing folks, who can tell what the future might bring?
So carry on teaching kids how the US always knows best. Keeping them stupid is the best way to recruit more braindead jerks into the military and that can't be bad.
Perhaps your way of thinking is why we set sail for a free America and fought for our freedom in 1775....just a thought

I'm proud to say Dan McDonald is my Dad and he's a true American. Thank you PT for covering this special day. Most US citizens don't take enough time out of their day to remember our troops who have sacrificed their lives for our country. I would also like to thank my Dad's fellow service men who accompanied him at the ceremony.
Proud of you Danny (Dad).

The voice of another brain-dead, radical leftwinger. Look for him to be running for office in a California district soon. My guess is that it will either be in San Francisco or S.F. South, aka Long Beach.

I am most certain that in a small village you would have been considered the "VILLAGE IDIOT", MORE THAN LIKELY YOUR SMALL BRAIN ISN'T THE ONLY INADEQUATE ATTRIBUTE YOU POSSES...Suggest you change "BIG" to small minded

Big JW. My Dad served in WWII and received the bronze star and purple heart. He and his buddies were there to free an oppressed people along with our allies. We will always be proud of them for what they did to save the world. What exactly have you done lately to help your fellow man?

<quoted text>
Nobody sacrificed their lives. They were justifiably snuffed out by Iraqi patriots defending their families and country from the illegal occupation.
Iraq, aka the cradle of civilization and having the world's second largest oil reserves had no need of clumsy construction workers to build anything.
Your father is despised by decent folk all over the world. Get an education and find out why.
You are a pathetic excuse for a human being. And you didnt answer my question.
So I will assume you have done nothing but rant.

Did yall see the headline today that showed Radical Muslims want to take over the UK and make Buckingham Palace a mosque? As a prelude to taking over the world? It was a video clip on CNN.

BJW is obviously one of them!

OTOH, if BJW is British and NOT one of the radical Muslims, then he's hardly got room to point at the US for killing anyone, given the UK's Imperialistic history....
