Thank you, Rush, for reading my blog “Projection”, and telling my story, live on the air today. And thanks on behalf of my Marine friends. Given that America has become a combat zone, and Marines don’t salute in combat zones, we can’t salute you, but we definitely can thank you.

I’ll be posting the audio shortly. Here is a partial transcript of one of the two segments Rush did on Young Americans.

Semper Fi,

Pat Dollard

Update » Here is Rush Cam Video of a portion of one of the segments.

    I’m listening to Rush read the story now, and I want to thank Rush for bringing your story to the air.
    I’m sending your website to my long list of contacts.
    Good luck always.

  2. Donna

    OOOH I get to be the first to respond before the “Rush” onslaught from listeners overload your website. Thanks for your input on the war. My ex-husband was in Vietnam and died from end stage liver failure (possibly due to agent orange) Feb. 1998. He would be furious as to what we are seeing in the Congress. I want to know what is going on and support Michael Yon who also has a website. I will be adding you to my favorites.

    I heard about you on rush’s show today. i am going to read all i can find about you and what you have written.
    even though i have never heard of you i am already impressed after listening to rush.
    i will judge for myself, but if only half of what rush said is true, you are a great american.
    i have a boy that joined the army at seventeen years old. he has already been through boot camp and after high school will start serving a five year enlistment. he joined because he loved this country. he has a 3.7 gpa, so he could be going to college instead.
    thanks

    My Prayers are with you guys—-the true heroes!!!
    I heard about you docu. on Rush. How can I as a private
    help?
    Take Care & thank you for your service.

    My complete respect to Pat Dollard and Rush Limbaugh for acknowledging the imperative contribution that our men and women in the US Armed Services give daily, thereby allowing us to enjoy our wonderful freedoms and the noble democracy of which we should all be proud.

    It is not the lawyers, nor the politicians, nor Hollywood that protects our liberty, but the blood, sweat, and courage of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps.

    God bless all who serve and three cheers to Dollard and Limbaugh

    I completely unaware of Mr. Dollard project. Thanks to Rush I do now and am eagerly anticipating its release telling the “real” story of the war in Iraq.

    I love the internet. Where else do you hear Rush talking about a real hero of America, heroic for going against the media flow and showing us real heroes in the war for Freedom in Iraq, and then 5 minutes later there’s a post on that hero’s blog noting the report and thanking Rush?

    Thank you Pat for your work and I look forward to hearing more about your documentary and watching it as well.

  8. CD Parker

    Thank you for your work Pat. Is it too late to contribute? I would be proud help out in any way. Thanks.

    Hey Guys I just heard RUSH talk about your docunentary. I had a dream the other night that there was a COUP in Washington and the yellowbellied Democrats ended up in Afganistan. Keep up the good work these ISLAMOTERRORIST need to GO….. GREG

  10. David

    I heard it live. I was happy to hear your site and your project getting the well deserved attention. I anticipate you will get much more positive attention from other conservatives, but you will also get more leftist trolls. I suggest you accept it all as a compliment to your effectiveness.

    Way to go, Pat.

    PS Got my Jihadikiller T-shirt the other day, and I highly recommend everyone contribute and get one too. You will be the talk of the town, and think of the conversations that will be facilitated!

  11. drillanwr

    Just a word to Rush Ditto-Heads new to this site, from someone who has been following the site since seeing Pat Dollard on different FNC shows … Pat is “blood and guts” in his views and reporting. Do not expect anything other than very un-PC. And that’s the way we like him! :grin: :beer:

  12. Tracy

    Heard about your documentary on Rush today. I had to google you and was glad to find a preview of your film. We are desperately lacking reports uncensored, without a living agenda, and straight from the soldiers themselves. I look forward to seeing the whole film. Thanks for your work.

  13. Eric M Smiley

    Hey Pat heard you on Rush, I already had you on my favorites because I downloaded the musicvideo w/the grunts the two that are talkin about all the pussies back here in the states sayin what they would do if they were over there. Keep up the good work and telling us what has really been going on with our guys.
    Thank you!

    Thanks to Rush Limbaugh, I am discovering Pat’s website.

    Were it NOT for the courage, skill and devotion to duty of our military, the “blame and hate America first” nitwits on the left would be UNable to spew their vitriol.

    Thanks to Pat and all who are spreading the GOOD word of the work our brave Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines are doing for this Nation…at home AND in harm’s way,

    Thanks for trying to bring out the truth in Iraq. Im ashamed of the chicken liver politicians that cant see how much our troops are doing to bring freedom to Iraq and keeping terriosts away from our shores. God Bless our brave troops and God bless America. Jim F.

    After spending the last six years in the Marine Reserves, what you’ve done has touched a nerve with me. I got chills of appreciation, respect, and camaraderie from watching my “brothers” over there. You have no idea how much I admire what you have done and the change you have made in your own life.

    As an aspiring actor, my interactions with some of the industry’s most familiar names has shown me that they are merely human–the liberal rants of the left-wing mouth pieces should be given no more credit than the blathering of some juvenile delinquent. I dream of the day when an actor would stand in the Oscars, the Golden Globes, or the Toronto film festival and actually praise our country for doing what it needs to do, not only to survive, but to maintain its status as the best country in the world.

    “Pat is “blood and guts” in his views and reporting. Do not expect anything other than very un-PC. And that’s the way we like him!”

    I couldn’t agree more.

  18. A. S. Wise

    Welcome aboard all fans of Maha Rushie! Didn’t get to listen during that segment, b/c I was in chemistry class. What a shame. The true freedom of the press in right here with Dollard and talk radio. Strange how they’re about the only outlets that stand up for the troops in the media, isn’t it?

  19. Daniel

    I, like everyone else apparently posting comments here, heard about you (and your documentary project) on Rush today. I was beginning to think everyone living out on the west coast of America had gone completely mad (as they mostly have here in the State of Maryland). I wish you the best of luck in your efforts to ‘wake up’ the self-delusional masses in this Nation to the truly perilous times in which we live. I do fear though… that we’re only at the ‘end of the beginning’ as far as this largely un-acknowledged world war is concerned. Again I wish you success in documenting the truth - for those of us not afraid to see and hear it.

  20. JOE

    PAT,

    Heard about you from Rush. Mega Dittos to you and the work you are doing.

  21. Steve in NC

    Hey Pat Dollard, how abut you copy el rushbo’s gitmo gear program and offer some coffee cups, hats etc. to help raise funds, and post us wearing your gear on the site?

    My son is in Iraq and told me about you months ago, you are a geat american!

    HEY CLUB GITMO MEMBERS!

    Get a Jihadikiller shirt and get photographed wearing it.

    see me in front of general custer:

    Momentum is building for the truth to be heard…

  22. D_Mac

    haha, boy a lotta comments from the Limbagh crowd. I don’t hear his show much anymore with my work schedule.

    This is a littl off topic but.. guess what…

    I’M GONNA BE A DADDY!, 2 over the counter tests and one at the doctors, all positive.

    I think after the feeling like I’m going to puke goes away I will be excited…
    I want kids, just didn’t expect this for another 4 years or so.

  23. Gramps

    D_MAC,
    Congrats, but your life is really gonna change :-)

  24. Mike Gastellum

    Pat,

    I caught the Rush show today, but was already aware of your story. Thank God, we get to see the other side of the story so sorely missing and needed.

    God Bless our servicemen and women.

    Pat,

    I was stunned by what I’ve read about your experiences in Iraq. I want to express my thanks to you and the Marines for all that you’re doing to bring home the true story of what is going on in Iraq. Bless you and the Marines for your service and sacrifice. Good luck with your film. I will support it when comes out.

    I also want to thank Rush for bringing your story to my attention. I heard him mention it on the radio during my lunch hour and now that I’m home I can follow up on what you have on your site. So far so good.

    in more ways than one Gramps…

    I’m joinin the army too

  27. Zim

    I heard Rush talking about your blog today. Not bad.

  28. Greg - USA

    I heard this on Rush today, while watching him on the Ditto Cam, and immediately went to this site to see if it had been posted yet. I emailed the link to Pat’s site to Rush several times hoping he would mention it. I am glad he finally did! This site needs as much attention as the server can handle.

    Pat, I sent another email to Rush asking him to do an interview with you. I sure hope that happens!

  29. Gramps

    in more ways than one Gramps…

    I’m joinin the army too

    Good on ya D_MAC Only thing better would have been to join the Marines …LOL

  30. drillanwr

    Would love to see you connect with Glenn Beck too, Pat. Gotta get all the good exposure we can for the guys to counter the LMSM’s b.s.

    D_Mac, congrats, on both counts!

  31. Marine Dad

    Was there to greet son, LnCpl. 0311, 3/7 Marines, upon return from his second combat tour ~ Iraq. Off he stepped from the bus, amongst cheering jarhead family members. Young, salty Marines all….except for one.
    Off the bus, along with the others, stepped this ‘old guy’ (sorry Pat). Wearing crumpled gear, just like the rest. Was Dollard. Son introduced us, right there at Victory Field, Twentynine Palms. Shortly after, Pat was taken by our son and Doc Johan to get his wounds drained (i.e.d.). Plenty o’ beers & stories followed later.

    Dollard has the respect of the Marines he patrolled, slept, ate and fought alongside with. Believe me…no bluster or false bravado here. Pat is the real deal.

    Blood & Guts indeed.

    Oohrah & Semper Fi, Dollard. Keep movin’

  32. Javier

    Long time ago I learned that trying to cut the supply line is a military operation and people who try to do it is the enemy

  33. Javier

    I admire who give me freedom - Thanks a lot

  34. John


    I’d heard Rush talking about you today Pat, great! Rush is a good guy and I’m glad he mentioned you. Your stories are very news worthy. Keep up the great posts!

  35. David

    We either fight them there or we will fight them here.

    I am 51 and have had Cerebral Palsy all my life and if I could I would gladly serve. We (the U.S.) are truly, truly, the last best hope of men on earth. Our modern Democrat Party, during the Civil War, would have all been thrown in prison for sedition.

    May the Lord bless and protect all of our wonderful fighting men, and women, everywhere. They are in my prayers daily.

  36. Tom

    I heard about you on Rush and finally someone has the guts to say and show the real truth. I just wish that the Bush administration would everyday do a 1-2 minute story on the good things that are happening in Iraq to combat the liberal media. Thank you and God Bless you and our troops.

  37. Brian

    Heard you on Rush today my friend. Looking forward to watching your film.

  38. Jenny Hatch

    I sent your website to her hope she finds her soul like you did!

    THANK YOU SOLDIERS

  41. Gene

    Thank you sir for what you are doing.

    I too learned about your project on Rush Limbaugh’s radio show.

  42. TJ

    The best promotion for the truth about iraq and the spirit of its true citizens is to get publicity from Rush limbaugh. He is number 1 in radio and fox is number 1 in cable television for a reason. another side effect to this is that it will also spur enlistments. I’ve been contemplating reinlistment myself.

  43. TWarrior

    Great site Pat, it’s my first time here and won’t be the last.

    Thanks Rush, your the reason alot of us stay above water.

  44. TWarrior

    Thanks to the soldiers and they have my support and devotion.

    The sacrifices you and your families have made will not be forgotten.

  45. Matthew

    I heard about your website today listening to Rush. I’m a student at NC State University, next semester i’ll be joining the Marine Corps ROTC. I would just like to say Thank you to all the men and women over there, defending freedom. I would also like to extend a thank you to you, Pat, I’m going to tell everyone I argue with about this website. It’s the real deal. Thank you for being there to open all of our eyes, especially us, Young Americans. Donation Made, I can’t wait to get the T-shirt:grin:

  46. Louis Romero

    One way or another, your story and documentary would
    have come out, but thanks to Rush, this website is now passed to others to see and hear the truth.
    God bless you Pat and those brave young soldiers.
    Many American men living safely and carrying on with our
    lives (including myself) will never ever measure up to what these young brothers are doing.
    Way to go !!!

  47. Paul

    very glad RUSH pointed me in your direction.
    Keep up the GREAT WORK!! :beer:

    Hi Pat,

    I heard about your courage on Rush Limbaugh today. May God strengthen your broad shoulders as you stand firm and face up stream? I hope the battles you face at home will not be worse than the ones you faced in Iraq.

  49. SS

    Pat,

    Keep on getting the story out, it’s important. Thanks for your contributions at this pivotal point in American History. What happens in the coming days/weeks/years will impact the USA forever. The enemy within will be dealt with in time.

    Just wanted to send my regards for this movie and your blog. Most of my family has severed in the military (majority of whom are former Marines), and we can not thank you enough especially with so many sources failing to highlight the success and progress that has been made. It seems to be such a fashionable trend to hate America and complain, and taboo to mention any support or positive facts about the mission. There are so few doing anything to help or provide a positive contribution to this world. Compared to how much the America in World War II era sacrificed and contributed to give us the America we have today. Defeat was not an option! You are one of “the few, the proud” in the civilian world!

  51. Sissy Willis

    And now it’s “Thanks, Lucianne,” who will bring tons more visitors to your excellent site today . . . Do you suppose we home-fire burners who are not members of the military could mount a similar online “Appeal for Courage” referendum to show Pelosi, Hagel & Company that they don’t speak for us?

  52. Chris Frick

    Pat
    Just got online to see what Rush had to say yesterday, as that is where I go to get my news, besides Drudge and American Thinker.
    I am so excited Rush let me know of your efforts.
    Our son will be home from Pendleton tonoc then when he returns to Cal he will be off to Iraq for his second tour.
    I am so very thankful for your part in letting us here at home see and hear the TRUTH.
    Your site will be emailed to all in my address book. God Bless You. Chris D

  55. John

    I am so thankful that rush pointed me to your web site. One for you Pat and your conservative turn, And the other for the Post of Evan Sayet under the title “Bill Maher Writer Lays Bare the Ugly Truth of the Modern Lib Mind”

    A very very impactful video. I never never found such a clear, consise, superior, impactful, timeless, supreme, super important, and tactful explanation of the enemy. The enemy you ask? our own homegrown mainstream (non-extremist) liberal!

  56. Janell

    Hey Pat! Just want to thank you for showing/telling the truth. My husband and I love and respect our troops, and have long been angered by the constant disrespect and slander thrown at them by our “PC” media. You are truly a hero yourself! Going to Iraq, life on the line, to tell the real story of this war, with nothing in it for you….. WOW! I wish you the best! Please tell our soldiers that the “real” Americans love and appreciate them!
    THANK YOU SOLDIERS!

    I signed the McCain petition. Took 10 seconds.

  61. Dennis

    I just want to be added to the list of people who first heard about this on Rush. It’s unfortunate that the people that really should be made aware of this refuse to listen to Rush. We need people like Rush and Pat to counter the prospect of a less then secure future if the democrats assume the white house in ‘08.

  62. Julian

    Pat,

    You MUST see the completion of your project through. I cannot imagine anything more important for our country right now than what you are doing given the political climate. Do not give up. Unfortunately, I know you realize the slander you are going to receive from the media in the near future because of your honesty. However, you hopefully can assuage those future difficult assaults by knowing there are a lot of us out there supporting you.

    Keep up the good fight,

    Julian

  63. MyMarinesmom

    Pat as a Marine mom I want to thank you for all the work you do for my son and his fellow Marines; as far as Rush, I am not a listener of his, but I do thank him for his support……..My son will be deploying for his second tour in Iraq this month (April) and it makes me so angry to think that the Democrat party is using my son and his fellow Marines and Soldiers as a negotiation tool to have President Bush to sign any type bill that has to do with giving our troops financial support………… I am a proud Marine Mom and I pray that all Military moms understand what we are able to do with our “VOTE” We are many and we must use our “VOTE” when the time comes to support our sons and daughters who are in harms way………
