CINDY SHEEHAN AND THE ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT!
6 Year SEAL Veteran will join Gold Star
Mom Debbie Lee for Rally in Hood River
Hood River, OR. Move America Forward, the nations largest pro-troop grassroots organization, is proud to announce that spokesperson Debbie Lee, who lost her son Marc, a Navy Seal, in Iraq, will be joined by another U.S. Navy SEAL to support the troops in Hood River this Saturday, April 17th.
Im happy to be coming to Hood River tomorrow for this rally. Its so important to support our troops, and support from back home means a lot to you when youre on the front lines, said Smith, who is accompanying Debbie Lee flying to Hood River from Washington D.C.. While I was over in Iraq, Mrs. Sheehans lies about our mission and the conduct of our troops hurt many of us very deeply. It will be an honor for me to stand with the mother of a true Hero, Marcs mom Debbie, and tell Cindy that she does not speak for me.
Benjamin Smith was a Navy SEAL for 6 years and has served his nation in South America, Africa, and Iraq. Ben became a Navy SEAL in 2000 and served until late 2005 but returned to Iraq for another year as a private contractor. He is a combat veteran and has served in dangerous missions around the world, but he joins Move America Forward in Hood River tomorrow to oppose Cindy Sheehan and support his fellow warriors!
