Harvey at Bad Example points out that Sondra K. has veteran Jason Gilson's email address.

He's the veteran who was marching in the parade and was called baby-killer and murderer and received no support from the announcers of the parade.

Here's my email to him:

Hi Jason-

Just wanted to say that I think the world of you, your mother, and your service to your country.

Keep your chin up.

As the son of a Vietnam Protester and the brother-in-law of one of Hilary Clinton's white house aides, I think I can sympathize with you. I'm a Gulf War vet and a Veteran for Bush.

Take care and let me know if there is anything that I can do to help. Anything at all - I can reach thousands if necessary.

We have to take care of each other.

One More Brother In Your Band,

Matt

So, if you're so inclined, please send Jason an email of encouragement. If you are a vet, let him know that too.

Paste your email to Jason in the comments here and show everyone who reads this blog what we're saying to Jason.

There are millions of us.

Big thanks to Sondra K. for this one!!!
