Unpublished, in Valdosta Daily Times?
TO: Editor, Blog, Internet, Concerned Citizens and Beyond
I agree with retired [B. General W. Troy Tolbert’s] letter published in the Valdosta Daily Times on February 4, 2010. Wherein he said, “Let’s just be Americans and do what’s best for our country. The people have spoken. Let’s start anew, and God bless America!”
Many Americans are working to build a better nation. However [General Tolbert] seems unrelenting in his efforts along with others to see our 44th President fail at all cost. But as Vietnam Era Retired Military Veteran. I take issues with repeated name-calling and negative cartoons of the Executive-Commander-In Chief----- of our armed forces in Iraq, Afghanistan and in other war torn areas around the world.
I agree with the general’s remarks. “Lets just try to be Americans.” The American people respected the other 43 Presidents. It seems that the general continues to set a bad precedence for all future American Presidents at home and abroad. How Sad?
Not even during slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, and the Civil Rights Movement did citizens, active duty and retired military generals refer to members of our Armed Forces Executive Commander-In-Chief as a clown, unpatriotic, foreigner, chimp, liar, humpty dumpy and many other derogatory names in the eyes of the world.
Are we aware that Valdosta is home to Moody Air Force Base Georgia, wherein our children are deployed on foreign battlefields under our 44th President? Therefore humpty dumpty will not resolve America’s problems, and if any American Veteran has a better method or resolution concerning the health care issue. Our 44th President has asked publicly for their help.
So yes! Let us be good Americans by working to resolve America’s problems instead of being a contributing factor to the problem along political lines.

Columnist Ray Ambrose, Star Parker, President Obama, Moody Air Force Base Personnel...
February 10, 2010
[published in the Valdosta Daily Times]
Columnist Ray Ambrose column in the Valdosta Daily Times on February 7, 2010 is a continuous effort to dishonor our 44th President that read; “Obama’s answer: Blame Bush.” “From President Obama’s inaugural speech to his recent State of the Union Address, he has had a common theme. Bush did it…”
Columnist Ambrose joins Black female Columnist Star Parker and others that spews venomous comments at members of our Armed Forces Executive Commander-In-Chief even though Valdosta is home to Moody Air Force Base.
As a retired military veteran Ambrose column reminds me columnists, mayors, governors and presidents that history records as being on the wrong side of history yesterday. And today the man they fought and condemned (Rev. Martin L. King Jr.,) has the tallest monument erected in his honor for that period.
Not even during slavery, segregation, Jim Crow and classifying Blacks as three fifths of a human being did Blacks and White Right People condemn the other 43 White Presidents to this extent. Therefore will disrespecting the Executive Commander-In-Chief of our military personnel stationed at Moody Air Force Base by this columnist and other local elected officials contribute to closing Moody Air Force Base when the next Base closing comes around?
Our current Executive Commander-In-Chief orders our troops into combat on foreign battlefields to face death. While their children attending Valdosta City School System were not permitted to watch their parents Executive Commander-In-Chief give a speech on live television. Yet these same children will be asked to volunteer and put their life on the line for their country once they become 18 years of age.
It is obvious that Times Columnist Ambrose, Star Parker and other local radio hosts have set a bad precedence in this military town for all future American presidents. As a military veteran I did not serve any political party or religious denomination. I served to protect all American citizens and our allies in time of war and in time of peace.
Moreover respecting our Executive Commander-In-Chief (President Barack Obama) is a time-honored tradition that has made our nation great and should not be taken lightly under any circumstances. God bless the greatness of our beloved nation!

Humpty Dumpty and local Retired Military B. General Negative Comments (President Obama)
