I linked to Michelle's first post on this from my earlier related post, but I didn't give Sgt. Mark Seavey nearly as much attention as he deserved. Courtesy of Greyhawk by way of Michelle, here's the text of Sgt. Seavey's comments to Rep. Moran and Sen. Murtha at the town hall meeting where Murtha made the despicable comments I mentioned in my earlier post:

---

"Yes sir my name is Mark Seavey and I just want to thank you for coming up here. Until about a month ago I was Sgt Mark Seavey infantry squad leader, I returned from Afghanistan. My question to you, (applause)

"Like yourself I dropped out of college two years ago to volunteer to go to Afghanistan, and I went and I came back. If I didn't have a herniated disk now I would volunteer to go to Iraq in a second with my troops, three of which have already volunteered to go to Iraq. I keep hearing you say how you talk to the troops and the troops are demoralized, and I really resent that characterization. (applause) The morale of the troops that I talk to is phenomenal, which is why my troops are volunteering to go back, despite the hardships they had to endure in Afghanistan.

"And Congressman Moran, 200 of your constituents just returned from Afghanistan. We never got a letter from you; we never got a visit from you. You didn't come to our homecoming. The only thing we got from any of our elected officials was one letter from the governor of this state thanking us for our service in Iraq, when we were in Afghanistan. That's reprehensible. I don't know who you two are talking to but the morale of the troops is very high."

I might have been content to just assume you'd see that quote at one of the sites I linked to, until I found out Michelle has video of it posted on her site. Click here to see Michelle's latest post on the matter, then follow her link to her video. You'll enjoy it.
