By the way, the next iteration of the map will include a legend for the icons. :-)
To: Coop
coop- you've done a fabulous job with organizing this event. i was particularly struck by the youtube video that you posted of the peace protest in dc. that certainly reminded me of why we need to do what we are doing. i'm making my arrangements for a site in new jersey and will be adding to your map markers soon. thanks
To: Coop
Thanks coop great job Im emailing the local talk shows about our effort I will keep on it untill they at least give us a small plug . Also we will be trying to get the local newspaper to our event on May 19th.
To: Coop
Glad you could use the "moonbats behaving badly" articles to illustrate just why we need to do this, and it makes me sick that someone who proclaims to support the troops would say that about recruiters, because they wear the same uniform, take the same oath. I have a friend from high school who served in the Gulf War, and is now a recruiter in Ohio. He has served our country for 19 years and he has a thankless job, and its about time someone stood up and said Thank you! I am disappointed in T Kurland, I have passed on information about ORA to most of my support organizations, and I hate to think Kurland is in one of my groups.
To: Coop
I think my favorite part of the youtube video was when they started chanting, "This is what democracy looks like". Democracy is dressing up in a hoodie, putting a hankerchief across your face, and dancing in a circle? I laughed so hard at that. They just don't grasp that in their favorite countries (Cuba, etc.) the right to protest does not exist (well, except to protest us "evil" Americans that is;). They also don't grasp the concept that the only reason they have that right to protest is because blood was spilled in earning and protecting it.
To: Coop
Thanks for reminding me, Carolyn, that I inadvertently forgot to credit Kristinn Taylor with providing that Youtube clip to me. Thanks, Kristinn!
To: Coop
Since they do not teach history in schools anymore; (only socialist studies) the founding fathers knew that pure "democracy" devolves into mob rule. That is why we live in a REPUBLIC . The masked moonbats have no idea how precious a place this country is! That they are able to protest AGAINST the government is unhear of in most of the world. Our Educational system has failed if "democracy" is masked men, street violence, vandlism and adherence to ideologolies that destroy the very freedom that has been paid for by the blood of patriots.
To: Coop
I'm glad "T" Kurkland is offended. It means we are doing something right. He proves the need. On the other hand, I don't like the way the war is being fought either. Get the politicians, Lawyers, and professional butt kissers out of the way and turn the troops loose and let them end this thing, once and for all, under the leadership of the military. Then make all the "sweet-talk" with diplomats you like.
To: Coop
AWESOME job Coop!
To: Coop
I must say that it is sad to hear people talking against our troops. These men and women are away from their family's and in danger so you can have freedom. You don't have to be for the war to support our troops.
To: Coop
Great job Coop! I still think non-coms should take the diplomats job. It would be so much quicker. :)
To: Coop
AMI, Are you saying that while you don't agree with the politics and policies, you do support the troops and their mission to nuetralize the jihad, protect the future of our country and try to create stability and peace in the middle east? :)
To: Coop
Yes, that is right? :) I am part of soldiers angels and i send out care packages ever month to soliders. I've heard from a solider last month and he told me that knowing that their are people beside his family behind him meant the world to him.
To: Coop
It makes me sick to my stomach to hear about stuff like this. As the spouse of a recruiter I know first-hand how hard our recruiters work. I also know the positive influence they have on so many people's lives. Thank you so much for sponsoring this effort!
To: Coop
This is important! As a former recruiter (11 years) and spouse of a current recruiter, I have first hand knowledge of how difficult a job it is. While not as dangerous as a combat job, we are in many cases, the first ones attacked by the public, simply because we are there. T Kurland is full of crap by saying he is patriotic and supports the troops. Guess what idiot? Recruiters are parts of those said troops. I take offense to your characterization of recruiters also. We don't need to lie about the military. Either it's for you or not. We don't want you if you can't be 100 committed. Thanks for doing this Eagles!
To: Coop
I know we here in Lubbock,Texas are very proud of ALL our service members. Our support group is making plans to visit our local recruiters. They all do a tremendous job!!
To: Coop
LeeAnn, a special thanks to you for your service as a recruiter, and will you and Mary both please pass on our gratitude to your husbands? I hope you'll share the map with them, if they can find a spare minute or two. :-)
To: Coop
Just like to remind folks who say they are for the troops but against the war of a comment I read a couple of weeks ago.
Your position is much like saying you support firefighters, but hate that they stop fires; or that you support your local police but think they should all stay in the station and not enforce the laws against murder, rape, and robbery. It's kinda hard to have your cake and eat it too, folks. To: Coop
Hey I also wondered could this not be announced on the National Military Appreication Month website? It would be a good place to get some good workers. www.NMAM.org Just wondering?
Nancy To: Coop
Sounds like a plan, Nancy! Please do it and let me know if there are any problems or questions. Cheers!
To: Coop
Coop, I passed the thanks on to my husband and shared the map with him.:) He is looking forward to May 19th. I want to say thanks to LeeAnn and her husband as well. Heck, I wish I could personally thank every recruiter in the Nation! TxMarineMom, I'm in Lubbock too. GOETX sent me your email address. If you want I'll email you details of what we are planning so we can coordinate. :)
To: Coop
Hi Coop,
I'm a Soldier's Angel and have adopted the local recruiter's (in a addition to my growing list of adoptees lol). I stop in a few times a week to see how everyone is doing and bring some goodies. They are always on the go and put in an incredible amount of hours a week. They always take time out to talk to me and treat me like family. I have made a lot of friends and welcome any opportunity to spoil these folks. I had never heard of the recruiter appreciation day, but, you can believe, I'll never forget it!!! I'm planning on bringing pizza, wings, salad, soda and of course my chocolate chunk brownies. I'll be doing this on Friday May 18th because I will be at work on the 19th. Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention! Love your website. Angel hugs, Dianne To: Coop
I know I mentioned this before. Do you travel a lot due to your work?
I am an Illinois Eagle but I am currently working near Waldorf, Maryland. My daughter and her boyfriend will be picking up my commitment for the Mt. Prospect, Illinois Multi-Service Recruiting Office. I picked up another Multi-Service office here in Waldorf, Maryland. When we travel, we are still Eagles. Contact the State Co-ordinator where you are working temporarily and see if there is anything you can do to help. Spread your wings. To: Coop
Another reason why it's important to call the recruiters first. Coop
I work for a property management company and we manage an office. The current recruiter used to be my contact for their offices 6 years ago. It was like old home week talking to him! He said he has received some emails about ORA and thought it was a hoax until he talked to me! To: Coop
Aloha Coop!
I'm going to go over to the Oahu Veterans Center and post some flyers and talk to the head of the Veterans' groups here about Recruiters' Appreciation Day. I'll also call in to our local conservative talk stations and pass the word. I'm going to suggest that just dropping by and offering a thank you and a handshake or a slap on the back would be enough. Local people usually show their appreciation with food so they and their families should have some "grinds" for a few days. Movie passes, Blockbuster Video gift certificates for their kids, Starbucks and restaurant gift certificates will also be suggested. To: Coop
Here is the word for Tucson Troop Supporters! We will be having a picnic in a park with softball and whatever else we can think of for all branches of recruiters and their families here.
Time: Saturday May 19th 2007 afternoon/evening. Place: An East Side Tucson park. Needed: Volunteers to bring food, any extra bats, balls or gloves you can find and come to help serve the troops, set up banners / flags and clean up after. Park Games for kids volunteer needed. Early setup will be there by 3:00 pm, cleanup starts at 8:30 pm. I must know what food, drink or other supplies you will be bringing and how much so I can coordinate! Ask if you want a suggestion. To volunteer in the Tucson area email Wayne Boettcher Tucson Eagles, let's get together and show these troops that Tucson cares! To: Coop
Aloha, HM! Please keep me posted on details so we can properly account for you on the map. Thanks!
To: Coop
I, too, am a Soldier's Angel and am sending packages and mail to a military person in Afghanistan. When I heard about ORA, I got the day mixed up and hurried down to my recruiter's office on April 19. Needless to say, he was very surprised. I took some cookies and thanked him for his work; work that must be hard. He gave me a big hug and said I had made his day. I'll be sure to go back on the "official day" and bring some other goodies. I will have to say that the posters were wonderful and if I weren't such an old lady, would have been tempted to enlist.
To: Coop
Coop, I'm just starting to test the waters here in the south hills area of Pittsburgh. I am mailing a letter with a copy of the GOE Briefings of April 7, 2007 to area American Legion Post. I have given my home and cell numbers in this letter and will be phoning the posts to see if interested in getting involved. Since there are so many recruiter locations in this area, not sure which location people will want to visit. Several people in the north hills area of Pittsburgh have contacted me thru the GOE site and will try to organize with them.
To: Coop
Okay, great. Please keep me posted. And also please coordinate with Wayne, GOE's PA state coordinator: goe.pa@lutzkicksass.com. Thank you!
