You couldn't have been more correct on the "Evening at the Oscars." I, for one, love to be entertained by Hollywood with the movies, special effects, and stars. However, I too was very disappointed in the non recognition of our military forces and their families. Your article definitely got me to re-think on how I look at Hollywood. They will make movies of War to get a profit. But Thank or mention those who serve...forget about it.

I dedicated ten years of my life to our great country by serving in the USMC. I never once expected to be honored by our friends in Hollywood or anyone else. I know our troops are too generous to expect any recognition. But during a time like the present, we need to "Thank" ALL of those who serve and give their lives for freedom and democracy.

p>Great story! br> -- Clark Meyer br> Laguna Niguel, California br> P.S. Nice story on Nixon! The city of San Clemente, California (Nixon's old turf), just dedicated a city park to all of the Marines who served...now that is recognition! /p>

Kudos to you! Unfortunately with Hollywood P.R. machine (The Washington Post, New York Times, etc., etc.) many good citizens of this great republic believe the dribble that is produced from the mouths of the un-educated far left. If they only knew what a socialist government would do for their freedom of speech!

p>Keep up the excellent work. br> -- Stu Carlin /p> p> I am a 2003 veteran of Afghanistan and have many friends still there and in Iraq. I have sent a link to Ben's article to every one of them I can think of. I could go on, but let me just say that it is heartening to know that there are still courageous Americans unafraid to say the things Ben has said. While I haven't ever had doubts that my efforts and those of my friends were and are worthwhile, it is nice to hear from someone not from our ranks.
