It's up to all of us to find and report these stories.
There's a war going on here at home too.
Thanks for posting these pictures.
God bless and keep our brave fighting men.
Exactly right -
There needs to be a WOT/Iraq supporting 527 up and running - It is shameful that the WH/RNC have not funneled the needed resources to such a 527 years ago now....
Contacting the RNC,WH, Limbaugh, etc, regarding the need for such a 527 is worth it.
A 527 running ads every other week...touting our successes, touting WHY we are in this fight, Why we must stay on the offensive....and how the current DEM leadership is so non-serious regarding national security they cannot be trusted in leadership positions...
If a fully funded 527 was up and running....with creative, energetic, informative information....the publics attention would turn relatively quickly....
WOOHOO!
American baby!
All our men, women and families are in our prayers.
I wish I could be there with them. Godspeed.
I hope they know we are so proud of them & keep them in our prayers.
FR WAR NEWS!That’s my son’s unit. He’s a Stryker platoon leader.
