Beautiful post. Thank you, Gringo1.

I hope this current debate will soon give way to a renewed appreciation for the bigger picture and our nation's role in spreading freedom where it is needed most, and that history will record my son's death as having been in the service of this noble goal.

To pass this on to members of the (inter)national media.

How it must hurt the Gold Star Mothers to hear the calumny directed against their sons... bullies, baby-killers, etc. When in truth they are being welcomed by most Afghanis and Iraquis as friends, allies, liberators.

What they have done and are doing is magnificent. I have never been prouder of our armed services, and never been prouder to be an American -- to be a small part of such a great venture: bringing God's gift of freedom to the world. These brave ones gave their lives knowingly and willingly for their mission. It is NOT 'supporting the troops' to say that their mission is wrong, just bring them home. That WOULD mean that they died in vain.

The only reason such a sentiment gets any traction is because Big Media never prints the positive stories... like the ones we get from Ragtime Cowgirl! Brava!
