To Know He Does Know His Name

Tracy Jopek was watching Obama's (televised) speech (in Texas last Feb.) and had no idea he would mention her son. She said his speech hit just the right tone she was trying to send by giving him the bracelet.

"I couldn't believe it. It was such an honor, such an honor," she said, her voice breaking. "To know that he does know his name. It means a lot."

The Democratic presidential hopeful wears the bracelet given to him by Jopek, of Merrill, Wis.

Fast forward to:

September 28, 2008

During the presidential debate on Friday Barack Obama anticipated and countered John McCain’s bracelet story with his own- except he had to look down and “uhhhh” read the bracelet (SGT Uhhhh) to remember the soldier’s name.

Sad.

Here’s the video:

Which is it, Obama, Did our Soldiers Die in Vain?

Last night Barack Obama seemed to be a patriot when he said no soldier dies in vain in defense of his country. But in 2002 he made a very different statement.

The consequences of war are dire, the sacrifices immeasurable. We may have occasion in our lifetime to once again rise up in defense of our freedom, and pay the wages of war. But we ought not,we will not,travel down that hellish path blindly. Nor should we allow those who would march off and pay the ultimate sacrifice, who would prove the full measure of devotion with their blood, to make such an awful sacrifice in vain.

Don't believe him!!!
