Victory, they say, has many fathers and defeat is an orphan. Some of us refused to abandon it.
We kept the faith with our nation’s warriors. We knew deep down that what we were being told was not the whole story. And we believed that our nation was a force for good in this world, and that the soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines sent forth to break militant Islamicists of their homocidal habits were the best human beings this Republic had to offer. Zombie Time has put up a huge list of virtual minutemen. This victory is for them, too:
Here is the official list of blogs that have so far agreed to mark VI Day on November 22, 2008:
Victory in Iraq Day: Participating Blogs
These bloggers, listed here as supporters of the idea of celebrating VI Day today, along with the bloggers listed along the left side of this page who may not be so certain that today is the best day to do this, served honorably as People’s Information Suport Team members, Virtual Cyber Militiamen (and women!) and nodes in the Blogospheric Resistance.
We would not let America quit on our warriors.
As an Iraq war veteran I wanted to say thank you! for supporting this day.
You’re welcome, Ms. Missive.

You’ve done yoeman’s work in this, but it only gets worse from here. I know you know that, but I do wonder if many of your readers get it yet.
Oh, the readership here “gets” a lot of things, Grimmy. And a lot of things only get worse from here. Did you have anything specific in mind?
The culture war, the long march successes in our schools and institutions of governance, appeasements toward dedicated belligerents, scorched earth politics, the general issue destructive vindictiveness heaped upon the US by the leftists, etc.
And by readers, I didn’t mean comments or contributors. That’s a very clued up crew. Any one of them can put me to shame on the “get it” issue.
I meant the lurkers. I do assume you’ve got a bunch more readers than who posts here in comments.
