I IMPLORE EVERYONE VISITING THIS SITE TO CONTINUE SUPPORTING OUR MILITARY WHERE EVER THEY MAY BE. PLEASE DON'T LET THEM DOWN AS WE WERE LET DOWN WHEN WE GOT BACK FROM VIETNAM. I ALSO ASK YOU TO KEEP THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES IN YOUR PRAYERS.
NOW THAT THE TOURS FOR OUR TROOPS HAVE BEEN EXTENDED THEY NEED OUR SUPPORT AND PRAYERS MORE THEN EVER.

PLEASE VOTE TO PUT
"THREE STRIPES IN THE SUN" ON DVD
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.

Turner Classic Movies ran "Three Stripes in the Sun" on September 25th. They may or may not run it again sometime in the future. If so we don't have any idea when that might be.
On their site they have a place to vote to put "Three Stripes in the Sun" on DVD. To vote you log on to TCM here is a link where to vote. http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title.jsp?stid=27691 on the right
you will find the place to vote click on that and enter you e-mail address when the screen come up and submit. There are now 100 votes we will need at least 2,500 to evern be the in 200th place. The movie in first place is Treasure Island (1990) 5354 votes; vote now. Please vote and ask every Wolfhound to vote for this even though Sony is already looking into releasing it around Memorial Day 2009. TCM and the distributors carry a lot of weight when it comes to getting a move released to DVD.  Mr. Donald Devaney and I have been working for years to get it released to DVD and VHS. They no longer put anything to VHS. After MSG Hugh O'Reilly's death we have been trying to make it a memorial release. Those that have voted thank you
Sincerely,
Bob Proctor

FREEDOM IS NOT FREE IT COMES AT A HIGH COST.
This is what freedom has cost as of June 25, 2009. It has not been cheap in fact it has been very expensive in the cost of lives and the health of all of our veterans. Lets never forget them and the cost over the years. We know the cost is much higher then what it shows here in our war on terror. This doesn't include the Indian Wars.
