Richard Glasgow is an American Patriot that has taken honoring Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines to a higher level. At this moment, I'm looking at a business-sized card that on one side says:
Dear American Hero,
I am not certain as to how to express my gratitude for all you have done to secure my freedoms. Please accept this simple card as a small token of my appreciation.
A grateful American citizen.
It was handed to me by someone while shopping; he noticed the hat I usually wear. I keep the card on my desk, where I'm writing this.
Richard's website is called Dear American Hero, have your speakers turned down before you link. I talked to Richard earlier this week after receiving this Press Release: |
GOP Party Leader Abuses Position to Trash Veterans, Receives Promotion
St Paul, MN - A ranking leader within the Republican Party of Minnesota used his elected capacity to openly attack veterans in a response letter to the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Nathan Hansen, Deputy Chair of the 4th Congressional District GOP, abused his leadership role to promote his personal antiwar agenda, proclaiming veterans to be "Communists". Hansen's response came to Lt. Col. Joe Repya's June 2009 article, "Why I am Leaving the Minnesota GOP". Hansen used his leverage as visible leader within the MN GOP to openly show disrespect for GOP members, American history and veterans' service to America.
Repeated attempts to resolve this matter with the Minnesota GOP, regarding censorship and/or removal of Hansen, has resulted in little action. Furthermore, Hansen was subsequently appointed to a highly visible position within the state GOP leadership structure.
In response to this disparaging letter, veterans and other concerned citizens will be raising awareness of this issue at the Minnesota GOP Convention October 3, 2009, at the River Center in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota. This gathering of Patriots will begin at 7am and will last until Noon.

In talking to Richard Glasgow, I not only found out he's making 4 million - MILLION - more of those "Dear American Hero" cards, he, too, was served with legal papers by a guy MnGOP Deputy Chair Michael Brodkorb thinks is a "must read."
Well, I guess when Nathan Hansen serves ya with legal papers, indeed that's a "must read." I'd go off about the GOP is constantly wailing and gnashing their teeth over "frivolous lawsuits" but Nathan Hansen, an elected GOP Party Official goes off and serves up what I'd call a frivolous lawsuit (a leagle beagle pal o' mine read it and said technically it's not "frivolous" - it's "completely without merit"), but: that would be a tangent. Well, possibly a future blogpost, too...
Anyway, I also found out what I expected, that Dear American Hero is NON-partisan, even though Richard Glasgow is a Republican (and note I say "Republican"). Very simply, he is appalled that someone like Nathan Hansen, whom I gather to be a RonPaulRepublican, can not only trash a true American Hero like Joe Repya, but be rewarded by the likes of Michael Brodkorb and Tony Sutton. And Richard Glasgow told me anyone - ANYONE - that supports our troops and our veterans is welcome to attend.
I'll be there; I'm going to talk a little about this on "Minnesota Matters" this Friday nite on AM-950 radio and then go cover it on Saturday morning, bright and early.
If you go (and if you support the troops and support our veterans and can go, you should go), look for me - I'll be wearing the same hat I was when that kind gentleman handed me a card that read:
"Dear American Hero" |
