Matthew Vandegrift, an American hero who gave his life for you and me, will soon have a school named after him. It is a fitting tribute for a man who was selfless, patriotic, and well educated.

“The Leander School district in Texas voted unanimously to name their new high school, opening in 2010, to honor him,” my friend Katie O’Malley wrote in Human Events.

But some ingrates opposed the naming of the school after Matthew.

“Naming the school after someone who signed up to serve in an illegal war promotes the board’s political pro-war message. Both my sons will attend this school. Both of them will know that it was named after someone who willingly signed up to take part in an illegal war defending, mainly, business interests.”

These are the words of a selfish, inhumane, fool who takes America’s freedoms and twists them into a tool to hurt others.

His or her son will learn from the school’s name, Matthew Vandegrift, that true Americans are willing to fight for their country – not bad mouth it. They will understand that the world targets America because they dislike Her freedom, Her hope, Her strength.

At 28-year-old, Matthew knew more than the people who oppose his name will know until they meet their Maker.

Read O’Malley’s article and comment so these hatemongers understand that they will not poison America as they did during the Vietnam War.
