WOW !! WOW !! AND WOW AGAIN !!
95 year old hero!
Letter To Obama at Whitehouse Sent
from 95 year
Old Pearl Harbor Survivor
!! Fantastic!!
WW II Battleship sailor tells
Obama to shape up or ship out !
This venerable and much honored WW
II vet is well known in
Hawaii
for his seventy-plus years of
service to patriotic organizations
and causes all over the country. A
humble man without a political
bone in his body, he has never
spoken out before about a
government official, until now. He
dictated this letter to a friend,
signed it and mailed it to the
president.
Dear President Obama,
My name is Harold Estes,
approaching 95
on December 13 of this
year. People meeting me for the
first time don't believe my age
because I remain wrinkle free and
pretty much mentally alert.
I enlisted in the
U.S. Navy in 1934 and
served proudly before, during and
after WW II retiring as a
Master Chief Bos'n
Mate. Now I live in a "rest home"
located on the western end of
Pearl Harbor ,
allowing me to keep alive the
memories of 23 years of service to
my country.
One of the benefits of my age,
perhaps the only one, is to speak my
mind, blunt and direct even to the
head man.
So here goes.
I am amazed, angry and determined
not to see my country die before I
do, but you seem hell bent not to
grant me that wish.
I can't figure out what country you
are the president of.
You fly around the world telling our
friends and enemies despicable lies
like:
" We're no longer a
Christian nation"
" America is arrogant" -
(Your wife even
announced to the
world," America is mean-
spirited. " Please
tell her to try preaching
that nonsense to 23
generations of our
war dead buried all
over the globe who
died for no other
reason than to free a
whole lot of
strangers from tyranny and
hopelessness.)
I'd say shame on the both of you,
but I don't think you like America,
nor do I see an ounce of
gratefulness in anything you do, for
the obvious gifts this country has
given you. To be without shame or
gratefulness is a dangerous thing
for a man sitting in the
White House.
After 9/11 you said," America hasn't
lived up to her ideals."
Which ones did you mean? Was it the
notion of personal liberty that
11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died
for to win independence from the
British? Or maybe the ideal that no
man should be a slave to another
man, that 500,000 men died for in
the Civil War? I hope you didn't
mean the ideal 470,000 fathers,
brothers, husbands, and a lot of
fellas I knew personally died for in
WWII, because we felt
real strongly about not letting any
nation push us around, because we
stand for freedom.
I don't think you mean the ideal
that says equality is better than
discrimination. You know the one
that a whole lot of white people
understood when they helped to get
you elected.
Take a little advice from a very old
geezer, young man.
Shape up and start acting like an
American. If you don't, I'll do
what I can to see you get shipped
out of that fancy rental on
Pennsylvania Avenue .
You were elected to lead not to
bow, apologize and kiss the hands of
murderers and corrupt leaders who
still treat their people like
slaves.
And just who do you think you are
telling the
American people not to
jump to conclusions and condemn that
Muslim major who killed 13 of his
fellow soldiers and wounded dozens
more. You mean you don't want us to
do what you did when that white cop
used force to subdue that black
college professor in
Massachusetts , who
was putting up a fight? You don't
mind offending the police calling
them stupid but you don't want us to
offend Muslim fanatics by calling
them what they are, terrorists.
One more thing. I realize you never
served in the military and never had
to defend your country with your
life, but you're the
Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do
your job. When your battle-hardened
field General asks you for 40,000
more troops to complete the mission,
give them to him. But if you're not
in this fight to win, then get out.
The life of one American soldier is
not worth the best political
strategy you're thinking of.
You could be our greatest president
because you face the greatest
challenge ever presented to any
president.
You're not going to restore American
greatness by bringing back our
bloated economy. That's not our
greatest threat. Losing the heart
and soul of who we are as Americans
is our big fight now.
And I sure as hell don't want to
think my president is the enemy in
this final battle...
Sincerely,
Harold B. Estes
