WIESBADEN, Germany --  Brig. Gen. Mark Hertling - beginning a tour of 1st Armored Division communities in Hanau, Friedberg and Giessen - addressing the concerns of family-members.

“Decisions were made to ask the 1st Armored Division to stay, not because we were available, but because everybody down there knows we are good at what we do..”

“The U.S. and the enemy have our hands around each other’s throats. We have got to see this thing through and win..”

(Those in command) are aware of the concerns of the families and soldiers and will do everything to support them in these tough times.

While purchasing a gallon of milk a few minutes ago I saw the Sunday editions of both area major papers in the store. The Chicago Fibune is running a front page hit piece showcasing a family that lives on $24,000 a year and a painter that makes $7 per hour to undermine the good news of the economic recovery. Never mind about the factory/durable goods numbers released Friday, the despondent faces of these folks and the Special Sunday News Release across the top are more than enough to show the Fib's objectives.

On the side column the Fibune also ran a story about how a "determined group of families" in IL were continuing their fight to bring such and such unit home.

In short a total bunch of propagandist Bravo Sierra from the Chicago Fibune.

Under it's glowing picture of Mayor Richie D. and a sort of birthday-looking cake, the Sun-Times had a small headline about reports being good at this point in relation to the No Child Left Behind program and IL scores. In IL, that's unusual and good news. Prairie
