Woods Lends Support to Troops Overseas

26 March 2003 by Tiger Woods

I have great respect for the men and women fighting overseas to protect our way of life in Iraq and other parts of the world. As the son of an Army officer, I understand the strength, courage and discipline required to successfully carry out their missions in hostile environments and feel tremendous pride they are representing us.

Obviously, no one likes war. Our Congress and President tried hard to avoid the use of force, but ultimately decided it was the best course of action. I like the assertiveness shown by President Bush and think we owe it to our political and military leaders, along with our brave soldiers to be as supportive as possible during these difficult and trying times. I just wanted to take this opportunity to let our forces know that I am thinking about you and wishing you and your families the best.

Tiger Woods, a class act.

My respect for Tiger Woods has grown even more.

Amen, Tiger.

Tiger is a fine young man. His parents should be so proud of him.

Thanks for bringing us that classy statement by Tiger. He's next to tee off at The Players' Championship. My nephew's already off and played two holes... -1 at this point. I LOVE that tournament...I'll have carpal tunnel by the time I switch between all these thread/webcams and switching channels. Love it.

As with all celebrities, I don't really care what he has to say about it. I am a huge golf fan and a huge Tiger fan. At least he said it on his own website and didn't go running around looking for a camera like the Hollywood idiots.

can't wait to see Tiger win his third straight Masters!
