Because those who volunteer to face these cruel, mass-murdering enemies for our freedom deserve to be honored by those who understand why we fight, understand something of the courage it must take to face this enemy daily, far from loved ones, for a cause greater than themselves.
We take them from the hands of AP and co., those who blindly, or willfully - but most certainly cruelly and selfishly - exploit them, and lift them up, in love and gratitude...
...in prayer, in community, and for their families and loved ones who sacrifice, as well.
It is for them, not the press, that we pay tribute....and with hope that someday those who exploit them will learn, as many of us learned - from courageous veterans who have been there, and know what it means to honor a fallen brother.

Thank God for our heroes and their loved ones!

The left, who participated in yesterdays memorial, openly stated the fact that even though they intended to vote Kerry, that this was not a political issue. They realized Bush was there both in the interest of America and out of respect of those who perished in 911. Today our nation is fighting the terrorism which attacked us. I cannot imagine those who give their lives wishing to be recognized politically. If the goal is to pay tribute to them, certainly there is a better way than breaking news, the manner which mass media incorporates. I don't know anything about the vets forum nor the religion forum if either military recognition or prayer applies. I don't see the honor here.

The honor is that a brave and priceless human being died for us, and that is breaking news and above most other affairs of mankind on earth, any day.
It is not a chalk mark for the enemy, it is a measure of the noble character of our military men and women, and a reminder to us all....
Dear Lord,
Lest I continue
My complacent way
Help me remember
Somewhere out there
A man died for me today.
As long as there be war
I then must
Ask and answer
Am I worth dying for? *

This doesn't sound familiar. As many times as my son has tried to tell me what his designation is I get confused.Third corps, 1st Cav, 1-7, Gary Owen. Maybe somebody could help me figure it out so it is less confusing.
