As reported in our local newspaper, this is what a national guardsman now deployed to Iraq told his mother prior to leaving:
"Mom, no matter what happens, this is something that has to be done. Remember I volunteered to be in the National Guard, nobody made me. This is my job, this is my choice, because it’s something that has to be done for our country. We all feel that way or we wouldn’t be here saying goodbye to our families now. It can be fought there, or here. I choose to fight there."

God Bless our Troops, I support them every way I can, and I have been all of my life, I was denied the privilege of serving this great Nation for being partially deaf in one ear, so I do my part by supporting them anyway I can

HE's a hero. I don't happen to agree with the policy that sent him to Iraq, but he's doing his duty and he's a patriot. I support him, along with all our marvelous troops.
