Have we left Germany or Japan yet? How long has WWII been over? ;-)
Thanks for what you are doing. And yes, you did make the wiser choice!
gotta read this whole thread slowly tomorrow
This is an amazing thread! Scroll through the entire thread if you can. Lots of wonderful photos and commentary that you definitely WON'T see in the NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, St. Petersburg Times, SF Chronicle, Hartford Courant, etc., etc.
Hey are they smart enough to be on a teeter totter? the ones in uniform I mean.

something i hadn't seen until now, and at first blush looks like a good thing, thanks again
AWESOME!!!
BRAVO!!!
Just wonderful!
This is the way I see the war in Iraq.
A road side bomb goes off and the media calls it a success by the enemy. Success is defeating the enemy, not encouraging them.
In Iraq, we lost 2,700 intrepid Troops in four years. In four years of WWII, we lost over 400,000 brave troops. I went to Gettysburg this summer. I stood on ground where 2,500 NY Calvary lost their life. I believe that to be in one day too. The bloodiest day was when we lost over 22,000 (10,000 Rebel and 12,000 Yankee) Troops in one day at Antietam.
It makes me very angry how our media has twisted it so that people think things are so bad in Iraq. Our Troops have done an outstanding job and I am proud of them.
We are in the heart of the Middle East. This is a place where they burn our flag and hate our guts. Our Troops are over there loving our enemy. Trying to build hope and a future. Something the terrorist can not offer.
We have not shot a tank, aircraft, uniformed Soldiers in four years. The war has been over. We are dealing with an insurgency. I believe it to be the same thing as what they dealt with during the Marshall plan of WWII (someone please correct me if I am wrong).
Yes, terrorist are doing bad things in Iraq. Terrorist do bad things in Israel every day and a Democracy exist. I think our media is undermining Democracy in Iraq with they way they report it. I think the liberal media owes our military a sincere apology. The Commies traitors won't ever do it though.
And hey, if you don't like being called a traitor, don't give people a reason to do so.
We owe the families who have given the ultimate gift to freedom a huge thank you (and that includes Cindy too).
"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty." The real JFK
Again, thank you for your sacrifice.
Thanks.
This is what happens when the Wife goes to Texas for a week.
Leave me alone with the 'puter and a few days off and look what happens.
Thanks. Great thread, great pictures.
Thank you sooooo much! May God's Blessings fall upon you and all our troops!
