Anyone else hear Dr. Dobson's Veteran's Day show?

"We have a special program in honor of our nation's veterans as well as active-duty military personnel and their families. You'll hear from two veterans of the war in Iraq who describe the gratitude the Iraqi people have expressed toward the U.S. military for freeing them from the brutal tyranny of Saddam Hussein. You'll hear what life was like under Saddam's oppressive rule as one Iraqi woman describes the stark contrast between living in fear and living in freedom. You'll also be touched by the sacrifices made by military families as you hear from a woman whose husband and sons are serving in Iraq."

Friday's broadcast on 'Focus on the Family' was very special for this Veteran's Day. I caught it in the middle of several Iraqis describing how grateful they are to be liberated, and how horrible life was before Saddam was booted out. They helped give me a sense of what liberty means to people who can never take it for granted.

We also heard several accounts from family members of soldiers. And we heard about the dedication of soldiers over in Iraq who know they are doing the right thing.

I believe you can catch the broadcast live at the following link....

God bless our soldiers!

I would like to hear the last letter read over again, it was a real tear-jerker. The one from the little boy,

We are fortunate to have an Iraqi writer among us on FR who is an amazing young man. Here is one of his excellent posts:

Ummm, scratch the word 'live', although I suspect you figured that out! ;)
