Combat Veterans For Congress PAC Endorses Steve Pearce

Combat Veterans for Congress PAC was founded by Joseph R. John, USNR (Ret.), Congressman Barry M. Goldwater USMC (Ret.) and Reverge Anselmo, USMC (Ret.). Combat Veterans for Congress has endorsed 17 veterans in 12 states. 

Marines Under Fire In California?

It's pretty rare when The Daily Show does a bit that a conservative would find very funny.  Yes, it's always healthy to be able to laugh at yourself, but when poking fun is almost always only thinly veiled propaganda for the extreme left.  It's odd to see Jon Stewart poke back at the left with any vigor.  But from time to time liberals acknowledge that they have a bunch of kooks on their side of the fence.

You'll have to excuse the fact that Myspace forces you to watch an ad to see the video, but it is worth the wait.  It turns out that even people who don't necessarily like the military know way down deep that protecting our country, is something that really must be done.

Steve Pearce is a Vietnam veteran who flew combat missions. Veterans' issues are of the utmost importance to him. Steve was a pilot in the Air Force, serving in the Philippines and flying missions into Vietnam. He received the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal. Returning to the US, he was assigned to the Strategic Air Command at Blytheville Air Force Base, Arkansas. He separated honorably with the rank of Captain.

While in Congress, Steve Pearce worked tirelessly on behalf of Veterans to ensure they would have the benefits they were promised. To get work done for veterans Steve has always used a two front strategy: (1) fighting for important legislation and funding, and (2) working directly with Veterans and the VA here in New Mexico to hold the VA system accountable. Steve is the only veteran in the race for Congress, has always supported our troops, and has the record to prove it.

A Different Christmas Poem

 .

The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light

I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.


My wife was asleep, her head on my chest

My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.

Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,


Transforming the yard to a winter delight.

.

The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,


Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.


My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,


Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
 

In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,


So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.

.

The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near

but I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.

Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know,

then the
 sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.


Article From Steve Pearce On Veterans Day

As Printed November 11, 2009 In Local Newspapers Around The District

In this career-driven age, it is easy to be thankful for a day off while forgetting why we have one. Veterans Day is, unfortunately, a prime example of this. We sleep in, spend time with family and perhaps put out the flag. But we often forget about the men and women whom the holiday honors. We forget that our veterans didn't get to take days off of work.

For Medal of Honor recipients Drew Dix of Pueblo, Colo., and Hiroshi Miyamura of Gallup, there was no day off in Vietnam in 1968 or in Korea in 1951, when they braved nightmarish terrors in order to save their brothers in arms.

For Margarito Trujillo, who spent more than five decades quietly living with wounds suffered while in captivity as a prisoner of war, there was no day off in Korea in 1952.
And for me, there was no day off in Vietnam in the early 1970s, as I flew missions over a land where freedom was a foreign concept.

But this dedication is not just a trait from the bygone days of wars that occurred decades ago. Consider the recent case of a young man from New Mexico.
