Great column. For the second week in a row you've knocked one out of the ball park. Gordy Cucullu

Good stuff. David Kim

Great article. Fred Teng

Great letter. I am going to circulate if u don't mind Clayton Fong

To me your credibility is your words. Nick Panarella

Gordie, this is a great column and I'm pleased to have read it on email. Why
not send it as an op-ed article to the Times? Tom Dailey

GREAT ARTICLE, Jack Christianson

Geez: not bad. You made your points in a readable and coherent manner. You may be getting this writing thing down, after all. Larry Loeb

Bravo, Gordon!!!! You make more sense and generate more optimism than all the others put together!!!!! Thank you, thank you. I shall print this and share it. Elaine Townsend(and, yes, I'm typing big and bold because I am shouting with approval and endorsement!)

A+. Move on up to next grade! Ann and Bill

Gordon, GREAT article. I mean it!!! How the hell can anyone argue with your thesis? It's beyond me. Gene

Hi Gordon, Thanks for telling them what we are thinking. I watched you on Fox last time and you made a great presentation. Tom Cardi

Here is the column from a friend of mine that I mentioned to you recently. I think it fits well with some of the other columns you have. Please feel free to contact Gordon Cucullu directly (tel: 607-435-1728 or email below) if you want to run it or talk more about running his columns in the Chieftain. Bill McKinney

Right on brother. Keep up the good work, your message will prevail.
John Naismith

(Sent to Atlanta Journal Constitution) My best friend wrote this. I beleive that it is very timely and would be well suited to your editorial/opinion pages.
A very well written article! Thanks for sharing. Mike T.

What a great column Gordon. Keep up the good work, the country sure needs all of this kind of thinking it can get. Al

Not bad at all. Could have gone over the line to sappy and treacley; but didn't. You made your points crisply without getting mired. Who knew you could write? Larry

Hey there Gordon, you write so well and i enjoy reading your column. i forward it on as well. Mary Goodman

Dear Gordon, Thanks for all your support. That's what I like about you. You are a
fighter. Joanne

Well said...jnu

Good job, Gordie, right on the mark. Kerry Weathington

Gordon, thanks for column; a delight to read, keep me on your list. Bill McK

Thanks Gordon! Please include me on your distribution list. Steve Gransback
Cucullu is out of control. TJ

Get Cucullu out of our paper. He is a typical right-wing warmonger. RY

Great new year's column..Colonel..great history and ethics lesson for us all...thanks...and best to you in the coming year !!Terry Wood

I think it is about time that I put into writing how much I enjoy your articles. I just read your latest on North Korea. I appreciate the quick history lesson and perspective of just what we are dealing with here. Very succinctly and effectively done. It's interesting that the "feeling" of just what we are dealing with here is conveyed, not by the many words, but just a few well chosen words. Bob Jones

Gordon, loved the column; displayed your true wit -- or half of it. Bill

Gordon ! That was very creative - I think you really captured both O'Reilly and Geraldo...Babs too. Your'e a hoot. DD

I'm sure you're getting a lot of raves about this hysterical column from your web readers. JCA
Keep me on the weekly distro list. Nice to read articles from authors who have an true understanding of what it took to build this country and what it will take to defend it. HOOAH. R.

am in awe of how well you write. CK

.. a brilliant line, and particularly fitting. I also appreciate if you would add my name/email to your distribution list for the column. RM

I want to commend you for the touching article you wrote about the space shuttle. The points you made were certainly valid. The ending brought tears to my eyes. You write very well! thank you. VG

Gordon, your essay is wonderful. RB

thanks for including me on your article distribution. It has been an interesting read. DD

am deeply moved by your column. Keep 'em flying. RL

Gordon, beautiful! And thanks for sharing it with me. CJ

Incredible, incredible article and I could not agree more! You are a brilliant man and we are graced to have you...Phil

this is SO good I just had to write you. LM

You nailed it again Gordon. Thank you so much for sharing. I look forward to your column every week. PP

Give 'em hell Gordon! You are right on target! BC

"One diplomatic size does not fit all." Too cool and a great way to say it. One of these days I may find something to disagree with you about, but I doubt it. You're right on as usual.

Your writing is so succinct, so logical, so pursausive...I just can't figure out why or how there can even be an opposing view! EH

….your article says it so well. RC
