[proud American in Canada]

"The truth is, our division is now getting ready for another bloody and hellishly hot summer that none of us expected to ever go through again."

We're all grateful for their sacrifice.

PING!

[Puddleglum]

We're all grateful for their sacrifice.

Maybe we need to act like a country at war - have a draft, raise troop pay and reenlistment incentives through bond rallies, have George Bush take the lead on fund-raising for the troops and their families, etc.

So far, politically, this is a 'don't-step-on-any-toes-at-home police action', not a war like in the past. It seems like the moral equivalent of a too-good to be true credit card offer in the mail for all Americans except the military and their families.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

We're all grateful for their sacrifice.

More than they'll ever know. Much more.

Our Armed Forces have turned the tide of World Wars.

Young men and women from our great country's four corners have humbled History's worst times.

We carve our thanks in stone. We stamp it into medals.

We carefully tend to vast fields where the men and women who gave their lives for our freedom now lay.

More than ever in our history, we cannot fail to pass these stories of courage to the next generation.

We must capture their imaginations while paying tribute to all those willing to die for the preservation of our way of life.
