Saddam kept these animals in line.

Pity we seem to be drifting.

This kind of sacrifice is not to be taken for granted by our leaders and must result in US victory and a safer America.

God protect our troops.

Let them annihlate the enemy regardless of the protets of the Democrats, the EU, the UN, and the Mohammedans.

The American Warrior is human.

May he rest in peace and his family be proud.

God bless this hero and his family.

We lost a n.e. Ohio soldier this week, also.
