Hah! Once again Hrvestuff you've been duped into posting something that is blatently false.

Snopes.com is all over this bull$h1t story:

In the true account there are several letters from real servicemen describing their meetings with Senator Obama.


LMAO at Hrvestuff

I am telling you Harvest is a total troll. All he can do is put these fake emails and out right lies. Harvest has never had an original thought in his life.

Yeah, I kind of enjoy his posts though. If nothing else he's a great example to all of us how many Conservatives are so blinded by their views that they can't separate fact from fiction.

Keep it up Harvestuff. And hey -- you're a great American!!

LMAO at Harvestuff
