An "Appeal for Courage"
Today, I exchanged emails with Kit Jarrell, a very sharp young lady that is one of two webmasters that are supporting the "Gathering of Eagles" - http://www.gatheringofeagles.org/. She is a college student, cramming for a major exam, and still has time to support our troops. Where do they find these youngsters? I had visited her website, and noticed that she has a "Blog Talk Radio" and the site had a teaser that mentioned interviewing an Army Wife about the Iraq war. I thought that it might be interesting, so I asked her to give me the URL and here it is:

I listened to the 1 hour talk show, and was absolutely amazed by her and her guests. One of them, LT Jason Nichols, USN, who is stationed in Iraq, and has organized an "Appeal for Courage" wherein active duty personnel have been signing a petition thinly veiled as an "Appeal For Redress" which is an authorized means of communicating concerns of active duty personnel to congress. Here is a link to the Appeal for Courage website:

Here is the appeal as it appears on the website:
ALL ACTIVE DUTY PERSONNEL ARE ENCOURAGED TO SIGN THE PETITION AVAILABLE ON THE APPEALFORCOURAGE.ORG WEBSITE.

It is a sad state of affairs when our servicemen and service women are placed in a position where they feel that they must resort to petitioning congress. God, do I love the young men and young women that are patriots.As an American currently serving my nation in uniform, I respectfully urge my political leaders in Congress to fully support our mission in Iraq and halt any calls for retreat. I also respectfully urge my political leaders to actively oppose media efforts which embolden my enemy while demoralizing American support at home. The War in Iraq is a necessary and just effort to bring freedom to the Middle East and protect America from further attack.
ALL ACTIVE DUTY PERSONNEL ARE ENCOURAGED TO SIGN THE PETITION AVAILABLE ON THE APPEALFORCOURAGE.ORG WEBSITE.
