Debbie Lee is a Gold Star Mom. Her son, Marc Alan Lee, was killed in the line of duty as a Navy SEAL on August 2, 2006. He was the first SEAL to lose his life in Iraq. In his final moments he single-handedly held off enemy fighters as his team rescued a wounded soldier from a rooftop. When she received the news of the death of her son, after experiencing a torrent of emotions, Debbie Lee decided to honor him, and his final wish. She has passed on the "kindness, the love, the precious gift of human life to each other so that when your children come in contact with a great conflict that we are now faced with here in Iraq, that they are people of humanity, of pure motives, of compassion."
Marc also wrote in his final letter home: "When was the last time you paid for a random stranger's cup of coffee, meal or maybe even a tank of gas? . . . Think to yourself and wonder what it would feel like when the bill for the meal came and you were told it was already paid for. More random acts of kindness like this would change our country and our reputation as a country."
Debbie Lee has been touring America to honor Marc's final wish, and established America's Mighty Warriors which is dedicated to random acts of kindness for military personnel and their families stateside and overseas.
Recently, Debbie made a second trip to Iraq. She was embedded with an Air Force Wing that was an intricate part of assisting in the rebuilding of the Iraqi Air Force. She was able to interview personnel from both the American and Iraqi Air Force, and even secured an exclusive interview with General Anwar, the man in charge of the Iraqi Air Force - an opportunity denied to media outlets like CNN.
In Marc's last letter home he had written, "It will take longer than most think but we will get Iraq to stand on its own feet." In her trip to Iraq, Debbie Lee was able to see this first hand what Marc said would happen. And, of course, while in Iraq Debbie also spent the time thanking the troops, and bringing them love from back home.
Debbie's first trip to Iraq was in December of 2007, where she made history being the first Gold Star Mother to go into the combat zone where her son gave his life.
Debbie Lee, because of her devotion to her son and to the troops, has received her share of attacks from the liberal left. The attacks from most, however, have not been as vile as the confrontations she has experienced from the radical anti-military group, Code Pink. And the person that has been most confrontational with Debbie, is the co-founder of Code Pink, Jodie Evans.
Code Pink has done everything they can to counter the war effort, including attacking our military recruiting offices while causing thousands of dollars in damage and threatening the recruiters. The organization has also sent over $600,000.00 to the terrorists in Fallujah.
In confrontations with Debbie Lee, Jodie Evans and her Code Pink degenerates have taunted Debbie, making light of her son’s sacrifice, saying things like, “Your son deserved to die in Iraq if he was stupid enough to go over there.”
Tonight, Debbie Lee Joins the Political Pistachio Radio Revolution to discuss these events in her life, as well as touch on her feelings about the current political situation, and where we go from here. Join us live at 7:00 pm Pacific for the conversation at BlogTalkRadio.com/PoliticalPistachio.
