"I listened to this yesterday and literally teared up. What a good moment and an honorable man. This is a tear jerker. I feel so badly for our military and their families. This pathetic administration treats them like dog shit. For those libtards and libtards like Traitor Kerry who make the military out to be disgraceful barbarians; or worse yet use the military as a photo op to gain votes, you have no idea what these great men and women go through so you can spew your venom. This man has more honor, grace, pride, heroism than the whole of Washington, DC right now. This administration is the most vicious, lawless on record. This revolting group of misfits in Washington, D.C. don't deserve these men. Look at what this man has lost, and they are discussing trying to infringe on the rights that they fought and died for. They have no honor in D.C. And when was the last time you even heard this "president" mention anything about our troops fighting in Afghanistan, not to mention how badly things are going there because of his policies? I'm just amazed that we still have brave Americans willing to give their last full measure of devotion for a country that, by and large, takes them for granted. That's right, the mainstream media and the White House actually despises them, but do it behind closed doors because of the cowards they are . What can one say through teary eyes? Words of, about, and towards this extraordinary patriotic human being would be less than futile, even useless in describing the debt of gratitude this country owes him for his sacrifices and his love of country. We have to redouble our efforts to fight against tyranny, not only to save our Republic, but for men like Larry who cannot be allowed to have fought in vain for this country. We owe him and all the men and women who fought and bled for this country that. They deserve no less. Patriots like Larry make me proud to be an American! May God embrace this brave man and shine his comfort upon him. May all people of this country be blessed with the understanding of how much we owe a patriot like him. May we all be strengthened by this man's courage and service." MC
This is a rather remarkable call and I wish it went longer than it did. Eight months ago Larry, a former Navy SEAL who did four tours in Iraq and four tours in Afghanistan, lost his right leg, part of his right arm, some of his fingers, and was disfigured on his face.
He told Rush that while he was coming off medication while recouping in the hospital he as able to listen to his radio show on a friends radio. And then he said something profound that I’m sure humbled Rush quite a bit: that while he was giving up on life, listening to Rush was propping him up because he realized there was somebody in this country who still gave a damn. Wow. Just amazing.
There’s more and you can listen to it below:
Rush came back from commercial and said these words about Larry:
That was Larry from Apple Valley, California. Where else, ladies and gentlemen, can you hear from real life heroes on the phone? You know, in a long time past Hollywood would be making movies about guys like Larry. Guys like Larry would be the kind of hero that kids would be reading about in school, the kind of heros that kids would learn about in movies.
And of course the media are not covering the wars anymore. Obama ended the wars – oh yeah those were Bush’s wars. They’re not covering them anymore. The body counts have stopped and all that.
But thank God for people like him in the country. Thank God we still have people like that. Honestly, thank God we have people like that in this country.
