Did I Miss Something on Rush?

[Anonymous]

Earlier this week, Debbie in Indianapolis called with a heartbreaking account of her son’s ordeal in Iraq and the pride she has in him. This was her way of sharing her view on what Cindy was doing in Crawford. Rush replayed the audio the following day and led into it by stating that Debbie’s son died. I am going to try to find and replay that sequence again (24/7) but wanted to know, in the meantime, if any of you heard this and if so, did I miss something? With two young 'uns around, it is quite possible.

Thanks!

I hardly get a chance to listen to him anymore, but I think I actually heard that call.

If it was the one I think it was, then if you heard an audio replay you probably heard the gist of it.

She talked about how this woman does NOT speak for most american mothers of military she knows, all of whom are proud of their sons. It was a very moving testimony, and although I have not been following the story of this “Cindy” woman, I think she should have to listen to that segment of Rush 10 times before she goes on with whatever vendetta or agenda she’s on. When I say, “have” to listen, I mean she should have to write a report on it too. When she can show that the consensus of the family members of military like Debbie that what their sons are doing is contributing to evil, then maybe she’ll have some credibility.

In the apartments we are now living (hopefully moving back into our house next month) we get to hear Reveille every morning from McConnell AFB across the street. At 5:00 we hear colors. At 9 pm we hear Taps. I don’t know what all they are, but at 5:00 when they play the Star Spangled Banner, my children and I often stop what we are doing, open the doors to hear better and/or stand out on the front porch, face the flag and salute.

at 5pm is when they take the American flag down, so the Star Spangled banner is played. And you are suppose to be still, standing at attention. Traffic on base even comes to a stand still.
At least that is the way it was when I was a kid growing up on base.

Thanks for the backup information. Every time I hear that bugle sound it just reminds me that there are people watching out for my safety 24/7.

I wish I knew the names of all the melodies they played. I know so many military people here but I feel so – disconnected. My dad was in Navy; I didn’t do squat, so I figure the least I can do is teach my family to honor those who do, indeed, do “squat.”

BTW by “salute” since we are not in uniform we hold our hands over our hearts. I have always assumed that was correct since I was in Boy Scouts.

If you haven’t already, go to www.rushlimbaugh.com and scroll down the page to about half way and you’ll see Debbie from Indianapolis. The one above Debbie called Who’s kids are in Iraq is good ,too if you didn’t hear it on his show last Monday.

I heard the call and part of the replay. But I don’t think Debbie’s son is dead. As I understood it, her son is still serviing.

EXACTLY! But I seriously thought I heard Rush say that he **died before he replayed the segment the day following the call. No kidding. Did anyone else hear that? Did anyone hear Rush correct the statement? I must have ** way too much time on my hands because it is really nagging at me!

The Star Spangled Banner gives me goose bumps EVERY TIME! I once saw a photo on the net, could have been a hoax but nevertheless, it showed a parade being led by someone holding Old Glory in a parade. All of the observers, curbside, remained seated. The only one standing was an elderly gentleman, wearing a military uniform, in a WHEELCHAIR! That brought tears to my eyes.
