Military Families Voice of Victory

Military Families Voice of Victory denounces the media campaign by Moveon.org insinuating that General Petraeus has betrayed his country. Moveon is going to run a full page ad in the New York Times on the day that General Petraous testifies before Congress titled, “General Petraeus or General Betray us? Cooking the books for the White House”.

We urge members of Congress to break any ties with an organization that would question the integrity, honesty, or service of General Petraeus solely on partisan politics. We also urge anyone with prior Military service to denounce the organization Moveon.org due to this outlandish charge by no longer financially contributing to their political coffer.

General Petraeus has a long history of outstanding service to our country serving under both Democrat and Republican leadership. General Petraeus , as all of our troops, has sworn to defend the Constitution of the United States not to defend slander by a partisan group such as moveon.org.

(Washington) Rebecca Davis, Cofounder of Military Families Voice of Victory, issued the following statement today on the announced plans by Army 1st Lt. Ehren Watada to disobey orders to serve in Iraq:

"On behalf of the members of Military Families Voice of Victory, and as a mother of three sons who have served honorably in Iraq and Afghanistan, I am demanding the Army prosecute Lt. Watada to the fullest extent under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

"The refusal by Lt. Watada to obey lawful orders to serve in Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom will surely encourage al Qaeda in Iraq to continue terrorizing the Iraqi people and attacking U.S. and coalition forces, and encourage al Qaeda and allied terrorist forces around the globe to wage war against America and Western civilization.

"Lt. Watada has chosen to ally himself and accept financial aid from Not in Our Name, a front group for the Revolutionary Communist Party. He has also accepted aid from other anti-American organizations that have expressed support and/or given material aid to terrorists in Iraq.

"Lt. Watada is not standing on principle, nor is his stand valiant. He is a coward and a traitor. His actions will only serve to get his fellow soldiers killed so that he can save himself and become famous."

WASHINGTON, Oct.28 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Gold Star parents and military family members issued the following statement regarding Cindy Sheehan\'s die-ins at the White House this week on the occasion of the 2000th death of American servicemen and women serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom:

We, the parents and family members of soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who have served and given their lives defending America in Operation Iraqi Freedom are thoroughly disgusted with Cindy Sheehan and her publicity stunts.

"We are angered that Mrs. Sheehan is once again using our fallen loved ones against our wishes to undermine the cause they voluntarily gave their lives for. Her macabre die-ins in front of the White House do not honor the dead nor do they help the living -- they give encouragement to Al Qaeda to keep killing Americans until we surrender.

Mrs. Sheehan is offering souvenir bracelets with our loved ones\' names on them as bonuses to those who join her in the die-ins at the White House. Her continued abuse of our loved ones makes our blood boil and we demand that she stop trivializing their sacrifices with her tawdry acts.

We know that Mrs. Sheehan and her allies are not peace activists. She herself has called terrorists fighting for Al Qaeda in Iraq "freedom fighters". The groups she works with have openly expressed their support for the terrorists and their contempt for this country. She and they are working to bring about the defeat of America in the war on terror.

We support our country, we support the war on terror and we honor our loved ones service.
