Fourteen Medal of Honor recipients from the Vietnam War have signed a letter<\/a> challenging and rebuking Connecticut\u2019s pathetic Stolen Valor Senator, Richard Blumenthal for his hypocrisy on opposing Supreme Court nominee, Neal Gorsuch. Their lengthy letter included this charge:<\/p>\n

Valor is too uncommon a commodity, and too precious a virtue, to be stolen by those who have not paid the high price for freedom. We recognize that some concerns over any appointee, especially the Supreme Court<\/a>, are honest and legitimate.<\/p>\n

You, sir, are neither. If you ever had a sense of duty, if ever you respected the service and sacrifice of others, then please recognize your duty now:<\/p>\n

Sen. Blumenthal, “take your seat”!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The signatories:<\/p>\n

Retired Command Sgt. Maj. Bennie Adkins, U.S. Army, Auburn, Ala.
\nRetired Col. Don “Doc” Ballard, U.S. Army, Grain Valley, Mo.
\nRetired Maj. Gen. Pat Brady, U.S. Army, New Braunfels, Texas

That\u2019s some heavy artillery being brought to bear on a Democrat weasel who couldn\u2019t be more deserving of being targeted. It\u2019s a good sign to veterans everywhere when leaders such as these stand up to the military fraud that is routinely accepted by the Democrat party. Had Democrats had their way in 2004 we would have had a Stolen Valor fraud as president of this nation and commander of our armed forces. When John Kerry was exposed as a fraud by those who served with him, rather than consider that they might have made a mistake, the Democrat party and its complicit mainstream media went full out in an attempt to destroy the honorable men known as the Swift Boat Veterans who had exposed Kerry. Luckily for America, the people believed the Swiftees and not those treacherous, lying Democrats and their media hit men, who kept right on supporting Stolen Valor fraud candidates like this \u201cDick\u201d Blumenthal for high national office.<\/p>\n

The Democrat party has no sense of either hypocrisy or shame.<\/p>\n
