BenKey Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I got this in an email a couple of weeks back and meant to post then - anyhow.... I did not check it's authenticity, as I am sure there are a few of you that will do that for me. Love the letter, nontheless. Subject: A MARINE MOTHER'S RESPONSE TO KERRY > > Letter from Mother of Cpl. Cory Palmer to John Kerry > > November 1, 2006 > > Senator Kerry, > > Damn you. You are a bumbling idiot. My son, Cory, left the Computer > Engineering Program at West Virginia University, a superlative > educational institution, to volunteer to serve in the United States > Marine Corps. He made it to Recon in less than one year, completing > over a dozen schools, finishing with top scores in every single one of > them. Cory, along with every Recon Marine, was/is a brilliant young > man. They all volunteered - there is no draft as there was when you > were in the Armed Forces. Cory, along with 3 other Recon Marines, > died as the result of an IED explosion in May, 2006. These men, along > with their peers, are superior in intellect. How dare you dishonor > them by your careless words. You are a stupid, self-absorbed, fool. > > I am not speaking as a member of any political party - in fact, I > support more democrats at this juncture than republicans. But I > loathe the disdain you display for my son and those whose magnificent > service was given for something they held so dear to their hearts - freedom. > > I pray that your political future is doomed. You are a detriment to > every democrat with whom you associate. If in deed, your words were, > as you say, intended as a joke, then you are heartless. My son's life > is certainly more than a joke. He and these almost 3,000 young men > and women who have died with him, are much more valued and loved than > to be used as pawns in your own petty political pundits. > > You were not misunderstood. You were clearly heard and understood by > us all. You were on national television. You are utterly > disrespectful of our sons and of us, their families. I will work > tirelessly to bring you down. You discredit every member of the Armed > Forces. Not only are these troops more savvy than ever before in > history, so are their commanding officers, many of whom have advanced > educational degrees. You, John Kerry, are nothing but scum. Spare us > from the further desecration of our troops and the > superlative military minds that truly do serve our nation. Remove > yourself from the limelight and step down from office, NOW. > > VERY sincerely, > > Mrs. Danna Swain Palmer, > > Proud Mom of Fallen Marine, > Cpl. Cory Leonard Palmer, USMC, Recon > May 10, 1984 - May 6 - 2006 > > West Virginia University, School of Computer Engineering 2006, > Voluntarily withdrew with excellent grades to serve in the United > States Marine Corps, December 13, 2002. > > CC: The Honorable Senator Robert Byrd, West Virginia The Honorable > Joseph Biden, Delaware The Honorable Thomas Carper, Delaware The > Honorable Congressman Mike Castle, Delaware Commandant Michael Hagee, > USMC Commandant Charles Krulak, USMC, Ret. > West Virginia University, President Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
