The boys who never made it off of the beaches of Iwo Jima and Omaha were losers and suckers.

The 58,000-plus names etched on the Vietnam War Memorial wall were all losers and suckers.

The five Army Rangers whose bodies were dragged through the streets of Mogadishu after their Blackhawk helicopter was shot down were losers and suckers.

The 13 soldiers, members of the U.S Army Reserve 14th Quartermaster detachment, stationed in Greensburg, killed when their barracks took a direct hit from an Iraqi Scud missile, were all losers and suckers.

The 2,459 killed during the war in Afghanistan were all losers and suckers.

Any veteran from any war who votes for a five-time draft dodger who believes that the Presidential Medal of Freedom holds a higher standard than the Congressional Medal of Honor, guess what that makes you?

Proud son of a World War II Purple Heart veteran,

Dale Cwynar
