Vermont gets such a bad rap on FR that I wanted to share a story of some Vermonters who understand what is at stake in the WOT.

God Bless the Vermont Air Guard and thank you for your service to our country!

Thank you. I get sick of the constant Vermont bashing here, it's nice to see something positive for a change.

I have a good friend who is a VT Army Guard helicopter pilot and he's over in the Sandbox for 18 mos at this time. He was in Bosnia 2 years ago.

And I think I read that per-capita we've lost a higher percentage of our soldiers than any other state, or close to it.

This time it will be the Vermont Air Guard that draws the duty in Iraq.

How could this be?

Don't people join the reserves, National Guard, and Air National Guard to AVOID going to war (like the EVIL George Bush did)? (/sarcasm)

Another chapter in the history of the brave and patriotic Green Mountain Boys.

Godspeed Vermonters!

I suspect Vermont is like Washington or California - outside the urban areas, a great (and conservative) place!
