Posted by admin / Under Westmoreland County, Virginia
It was a beautiful day in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. Clear and sunny, mid-60's and the leaves really needed raking. Our toilet needs new insides and our washing machine is busted.But Mrs. Vigilanteman and I put it all off to volunteer at GOP Hq in downtown Greensburg, TEL 724-836-0570. The food was great, the people working there were even better. One lady from England just got her U.S. citizenship and is putting it to good use. There are people drifting in and out all day helping with phone calls, but they are still only running about 75% capacity.I hate phone solicitors,...

Joe Galloway: To Two Viet War Icons: Rest in Peace (Gen Westmoreland and Vice Admiral Stockdale)
Posted by admin / Under Westmoreland County, Virginia
WASHINGTON - This is a tale of two men who were -- each in his own way -- icons of America's searing and bitter experience in Vietnam. Both left us this month, one at age 81 the other at age 91, and they left us wondering what it all meant and what they meant to us. One was a symbol of a nation's failure to succeed in its costly and bloody mission in Vietnam. The other was a symbol of gritty personal courage and simple personal honor while a seemingly helpless prisoner of America's enemies in that war. Gen. William...

Can the liberals learn from Vietnam? - (Westmoreland: legacy of the left's defeatism; spot on!)
Posted by admin / Under Westmoreland County, Virginia
Washington -- When retired Gen. William Westmoreland (Ret.) died this week in Charleston, S.C., the press erupted with reminiscences, mostly about him and the Vietnam War, mostly permeated with the myths of the Kultursmog , the politically-polluted culture of our elites, our liberal elites. After Vietnam the general spent the rest of his life refighting the war. He never learned that it was a war we could not win. He was a failure. These are three of the foul thoughts that pollute the liberals' culture and were repeated in many of his obituaries. I knew Westmoreland later in life, not...

General William Westmoreland is 91 today
Posted by admin / Under Westmoreland County, Virginia
Does anyone know what the General is up to these days? He hasn't been heard from much at all since that Libel lawsuit almost 20 years ago. You would think he would be a prime interview subject about his role in epochal events in American history.
