Letter from Don Lester

John Mill wrote: "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war, is far WORSE. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature, and has no chance of being free unless made or kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

America is in a worldwide struggle for her very survival. Today, the military calls it a Global War on Terror (GWOT). Your freedom and mine is in great peril both from within and without. The terrorists are motivated by hate and the desire of world domination. They must be taken seriously!

My name is Don Lester. I fought and was decorated for my service in Vietnam. Our forces, the American Military, never lost a battle in that war. Yet, the enemy watched our media and recognized our 'will to win' was being destroyed from within.

In 1986 during A Christmas Dinner in Seattle, Washington I personally met one of the officers in charge of the Vietcong who were fighting in South Vietnam. He said their forces were ready to "surrender" after the 68 Tet Offensive. But, they saw the Media portrayal of young men burning their draft cards and burning the flag. Then, they heard the media portray the Tet Offensive as a success for the Vietcong. He told me the Vietcong resurrected their offensive because they knew that "a nation divided cannot stand".

What does this have to do with us today? Well, it seems to me that the same Far Lefts' agenda is the same as it was during the Vietnam War. The Pelosi's, Kerry's, Kennedy's, Murtha's and others seem to want us to lose this fight for freedom.

I pray that our generation doesn't go down as the 'surrender generation'.

What about you? Do you believe America is in a war against terror - that if lost – could end the culture as we know it? Do you believe that the president of Iran says their goal is to wipe out the "little satan”, Israel and the "big satan", America?

Thank you to all who have been supporting VETERANS FOR VICTORY PAC. It was your help that allowed us to support four winners in the 2006 congressional election. We could do nothing without you. Please contact us and give us your input. We thank all of our Veterans for their great dedication and unselfish service to this Nation. May the Lord richly bless all of you and your families.

Don Lester
