If you haven't checked out The Eternal Vigilance Society, you should. Lots of readers have sent this take on the Gitmo-gulag hype by the EVS's founder, Kieran Michael Lalor, a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Is there a national, mainstream op-ed page in the country that'll publish Lalor's column?  Link to article  -Michelle Malkin, Nationally Syndicted Columist and best selling author.

Eternal Vigilance Society is in support of those fighting the War on Terror. One piece, written by a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom who mingled amongst those at an anti-war rally, is heart-breaking. Are these anti-war rallies or anti-American rallies? It's a must-read. Read his story here.  Interesting that the mainstream media hasn't reported on this man, his organization, or his experiences at these rallies. -Rhodes Island Right Website

Good article, Kieran - I'm glad I found it. Similar thing happened to me, although it was at a planning session for a peace rally. War isn't always the answer, but then neither is Peace - both have their place. Article - B.W.

After reading your article in the Journal News, Sunday, June 5, 2005 I felt compelled to send an email.  The article was on target and completely true.  I sent a reply to the editorial page of the Journal News commending the article.  Article

I was referred to your Website by an email from a friend, great site. I have passed it on to all the NY Chapters of Rolling Thunder and will send it to National so it can be distributed throughout the US.  F.B. Sgt. USMC, Republic of Vietnam

Those photos are inspiring. Thank you for your service to our country! Photos - J.M.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I am honored to be your fellow countryman. -J.S.

Your comments in the Journal News were dead on!  This veil is "support" is thin indeed.  Article

I am a NYC teacher who lives in Yonkers and I am always looking to find people who stand for this country and the principles it was founded on. Anything I can do to help, please let me know. - J New York

Thank You for the time you take to produce your blog. I've added it to my list and will read it every day.- R.B

Thank you for your service, and your efforts in support of all Americans, including our soldiers. Those in the Middle East experiencing freedom for the first time will always remember. -M.M. Woonsocket, RI

I just wanted to thank you for the excellent Community View article you wrote in the Journal News this morning.  I have been simmering ever since last Thursday, when I went to an Awards Night at our High School----at the beginning, our HS Principal began things by asking all to stand and face the flag and say the Pledge of Allegiance.  You should know, Hastings is extremely far-left on the political spectrum.  There were a number of people who did not stand at all, and a number who stood but did not salute with their hand over their left chest, nor did they say the Pledge. Article - S.T.

It is quite possible that I have been a member of the Eternal Vigilance Society all along and neither of us knew it. -Steve

Excellent web site -Sharon

I am responding to two letters published April 9 that railed against Kieran Lalor, an Iraq War veteran. First, if opinions were asked of the crowd assembled as Jeanne Shaw wrote, there should be no surprise and anger from them. The 9/11 Commission did not "clearly say" there was no connection between 9/11 and Iraq, it pointed out that although no Iraqi was directly involved, Saddam Hussein provided refuge and money for these and other terrorists.  Each time these people speak or write, they prove they are haters of America. I thank God for Kieran Lalor and servicemen and servicewoman such as he. Letter -  S.G. Yonkers, NY

Thank you to Kieran for serving and for letting people know what you know first-hand. I have received many letters from my son, in Iraq for just about a year, which confirm what you stated.  Article -  L.K. LaGrangeville, NY

I came across your Eternal Vigilance Society Site.  GREAT WORK.  You as well as your supporters, and their seems to be many, truly understand the meaning of Patriotism.  Semper Fi, -  B. A. GySgt/USMC  Okinawa, Japan

Thank You. God bless - T.B. Marine Mom

You and your Web site say to me, plain as day, that you are ignorant, overrun by fear and paranoia, and unenlightened. What a pathetic and loathsome self-portrait you paint. Don't worry though, eight years of John Kerry will be good for you.

You talk about the cause for which we are fighting.You must have been brain washed!! If this cause is so great, how come the military has a hard time recruiting? This WAR is more stupid then VIETNAM!!! -Norman De Young

Mr. Lalor used a photo of a smiling child with a Marine's helmet on his head to show that the Iraqi people want us and thank us. He would not consider that his photo must be contrasted to the deaths of more than 100,000 Iraqi civilians, most women and children, whose families are likely unhappy with the U.S. effort.  Jeanne D Shaw, Croton On Hudson,


Mr. Lalor should know that Iraqi children do not need him to "befriend" them. What they need is for our soldiers and airmen to stop bombing and raiding their cities and towns and murdering their mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters by the thousands every month. They need us to stop wiping out entire families at checkpoints; raping and sodomizing their female family members in our Saddam-like prisons; and to stop promoting our self-serving war crime as some sort of humanistic exercise in freedom-building. - Victor Lama, Thornwood
