Dear Cmdr. Holdener;

I was both proud of the actions of Lt. Shand and his fellow officers in saving lives and dismayed that they were reprimanded for saving
lives in NOLA which should be the first consideration, Always.

I realize that the commands coming from Bush are, how you say, not humanitarian oriented but the American citizens have spoken loud and clear that they are upset, to put it mildly, by the incredible loss of life by bad decisions made at the top of the Chain of Command.

The President of the United States is a public servant to the American people, not a monarch, a fact which this Administration seems to have forgotten. But it looks like the Mainstream Media, having been almost replaced as a source of truth by the Alternate media as seen by ratings and plunging circulation numbers of the major newspapers, is FINALLY back in its stride and according to one of the interviews printed on

with Scott McCLELLAN the journalist who asked Mr. McClellan about these officers who were reprimanded for saving lives, the journalist also asked if the President would give these officers a commendation. (In view of the extreme anger of the Americanpeople at their fellow citizens not receiving even water and ice for daysc ausing the deaths of tens of thousands of our fellow citizens of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.)

I will be writing to this President and ask him to get involved in the hierarchy which Mr. McClellan claimed the Commander in Chief could not interfere with and request that since so many, many died under our Commander in Chief's watch that every saved person of NOLA is dear to the American people still watching the bodies being retrieved of our fellow citizens who most certainly could have been saved if their were any real leadership at the top of the Chain of Command.

I realize that you have served your country for many years and that it must be near impossible to retain a clear conscience with some of the orders coming from the very top but I understand that Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald and his 3 Grand Juries which have been investigating for two years the actions of this Commander in Chief which have not been in the best interests of the National Security of the American people and that we may be having new and I hope adequate leadership in the highest office in the land very soon.

I would like to commend Lt. Shand and his fellow officers for saving lives and I hope the military will as well.

Thank you.
