Coward.

I never thought that I would have to actually post/blog about this subject, on the blog for Andy's Dad. I expect the irritation, border-line hate mail from MY blog. My personal blog, rather (www.abartendersword.blogspot.com). The one where I express all of my own beliefs, political opinions, etc. However, I never expected to receive a nasty e-mail/attack regarding the fact that I am the author of a children's book, in which the proceeds will be donated to charity. How dare you...

Will the coward that stated: "I cannot believe that you support war-mongers monetarily, and at the cost of little children." please stand up. I didn't think so. Because, you are a coward. If you would like to learn more about yourself, and what YOU stand for, please follow the link that the header of this post will provide for you.

Who do you think you are? I cannot believe that I am about to defend myself, my book, and my cause to someone that obviously doesn't have a clue as to what America is all about... but, I feel that it's necessary... this book, and project have been so important to me, and I take great offense when people such as the anonymous hate-mailer attack.
First and foremost, this book is non-partisan. It has no political stance. It falls neither towards the left, nor towards the right. It is neither for nor against the war. It was written with three purposes.
Number one, to be a beneficial tool to the spouses and children of those that fight for our freedom.
Number two, to bring hope to the families of our nation's heroes.
And, finally - Number three, to raise money for an absolutely upstanding, and outstanding cause - Luke's Wings.

I would you encourage whomever has taken it upon themselves to attack me, my book, this cause, and even our servicemen and women by calling them warmongers to keep their opinions to themselves, as no one here involved with the book, (I won't speak for those at Luke's Wings, although I can bet they'd agree)-- care how you feel. This is an important cause, and we will continue with efforts to support those that fight and put their lives on the line so that you can continue to shoot off your ignorant mouth.

For those following this blog to follow the progress of Andy's Dad, I'm sorry for the interruption and somewhat cranky post. I couldn't let this one go by without a response. And, I promise that we'll be back to the regularly scheduled updates on Andy's Dad, events for Luke's Wings, illustrations, and the like... In fact, I've got good news! Stay tuned!

Have a Happy Labor Day weekend everyone!
