Everyday Americans, true patriots to the core, came out in the sleet, wind, rain (and yes, sometimes under bright blue skies and warm rays of sunshine) to raise the flag of the United States and bring real support for our troops, the kind that keeps them rolling when they miss their families and have to face another day of fighting a cowardly but lethal enemy.
Our last stop before Iraq was at Liberty Park at the World Trade Center grounds, or, as I like to call it, Ground Hero, because it inspires the men and women on the frontlines of the war against radical Muslim jihadists.

"This is from us guys at the local precinct," he said. "We want to thank the troops for fighting against the animals that did this to us."
He nodded toward Ground Hero.
"We lost some that day," the officer said. "Tell them not to give up. And thanks."

Hmmm...screen’s a bit blurry here...

Just thinking of the new name, Ground Heroes gives me chills.

Sorry - my post read like I was pointing that out to YOU specifically when YOU are obviously one who understands - I meant it for a heads up on those, and there are many, who don't know the full extent because the news just isn't getting out there - Afghanistan gets about 1 in a 100 stories covered as compared to Iraq...
no worries, signals crossed, no harm! Merry Christmas!!!
You’re right.....they again were blurry. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, and Merry Christmas!!!
