RIP Mr. Murtha. I criticized you for some of your views and your pork barrel spending, but I respect you and thank you for your service in Vietnam. May you be forgiven of your sins and allowed to enter through the gates of Heaven.

Korea AND Vietnam. Retired as a USMC Colonel. Bronze Star, two Purple Hearts.

It doesn't get much better than that. A true American patriot.

Rep. John Murtha, Iraq war critic, dies at 77

Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., said that in part because of Murtha, "America is now on track to removing all combat troops from that country by this summer."
President Barack Obama called Murtha, who was known in his home state for helping bring money and projects to areas depressed by the decline of the coal and steel industries, "a steadfast advocate for the people of Pennsylvania for nearly 40 years" with a "tough-as-nails" reputation.
