Did you know the last flag raiser died last year? His name is Charles Lindburg, he lived in MN. I sent him a flag and had him sign it. He said when he got home people called him a liar and spit on him. The men in the picture were so highly regarded the true men were never given any credit. By the way he carried a flame throweer one of the first things the Japanese killed first. There is a documentary about the last flag raiser.

Is anyone surprised?

Abortion “art”
“Piss Christ”
Elephant dung on the Virgin Marys portrait
Aids infected bloody rags hanging over the audience
Overweight ugly people forming “peace” signs in public.
Homosexuals parading around, confirming ALL the stereotypes.

It’s ART people!!

Get with it.

I had to blog on this too. To me the biggest reason this photo manipulation is so wrong is simple: THREE of the men, men Tom Brokaw called the Greatest Generation, in that picture did not live to make it off Iwo Jima. They are among the 6,821 Americans who died on the black volcanic sand of Iwo Jima.

Time has shown the greatest disrespect with this. Trust a Marine to sum it up nicely: Time can go to Hell.

I’m the daughter of one of those Marines (4th Marines to be exact) who was wounded after spending 20 days on that hell-hole of an island. My dad was a veteran of Roi-Namur, Saipan, Tinian and by the time he landed on Iwo, he was considered an old-timer at age of 22. He shook off all the previous battles but could not shake off Iwo Jima as he left his best friend there. I consider this a disgrace to our armed forces, past and present. But what do you expect from people who have no respect for honor and truth.
