At her request, I gave a list of soldiers serving in Iraq to my housekeeper who wanted to write to one herself, and give some names to her friends to do the same. Today while I was in the Antique Store working, she came in and told me that her friends refused the names of soldiers saying, "We don't support this war." My housekeeper doesn't either, but she rightly feels she should support the troops.

Later, I was relating this to a coworker and was overheard by a customer. He came up the counter and said his son was serving in Iraq for Navy Intel. He said you tell those who refuse to support this war that my son who is there said we are fighting those terrorists over there to keep them from being over here killing Americans.

The Father was very emotional and upset at what he heard saying that here his son was over there risking his very life for what seems to be ungrateful Americans and a lying media. Tears were welling up in this man's eyes as he told me how important a job our troops have in Iraq and elsewhere in the war on terror, and how the American people just don't believe it because the media is putting out outright lies to turn us against them.

Sorry for the length, but I promised this man I would put this out in cyberspace tonight after he asked me to please tell as many people as I can what his son said. I kept my promise sir, where ever you might be now.

I hope you told him about our Friday nights and the amount of support we get from the motorists.

FriendAnn sent me the address of her great-nephew who is serving in Iraq (Fallwhatever). She send me two phone cards to add to a package that I have ready to send to him.

Please everyone, pray for our military.

Thanks for the ping, LIR

He has every right to be upset at the way the media is reporting what our Troops are doing over there

I use to say this war was nothing like Vietnam .. I was wrong .. the Liberals in the Media are trying like hell to make it a political war just like they did back then

I for one won't allow that to happen

Our Military deserves better then how the liberals are treating them

I know just how he feels. My son is a Bagh-daddy right now and it twists my shorts to hear people trash the Marines.

I just ask if it means they supported Saddam - and if they waffle, point out the horrific number of people killed in the most brutal of ways by the fomer dictator.

Rather that we fight them there than here!
