This is why I could never go to those rallies. I'm sobbing.

His identical twin (?) went to Afghanistan five times, Iraq twice. Bob would have said the family has to get over their pain because this country is worth defending.

If you were to poll these troops, 95% of them would say stay in Iraq, stay the mission.

A lot of these people want to eat in the garden, but they don't want to tend the garden.

They want to live here, but they don't want to defend where they live.

That would be okay, Peach. We could just step behind one of the banners and sob on each other's shoulders until we got it together again. Listening to these family members, that would take some time. There are two Americas. I'm glad I am on this side.

Honor never grows old. Honor is about defending those noble and worthy things. Events, if they come at high cost in our times, social disapproval, hardship, death itself, the question remains. What is worth defending. What is worth living for.

Robert believed this country was worth those things. It's good vs. evil.

This isn't just AMerica's problem. It's a worldwide problem. The world has to unite against terrorism. United we stand. Divided we fall.

People have a tendency to forget. THey've forgotten 9/11. They've forgotten the other sites of terrorism. But some of these people fail to see, given the chance, these terrorists would kill their infant children.

When the wolf comes, who are you going to call. Cindy Sheehan and the Pink Ladies?

The reason they are allowed to be here is because of the soldiers and the sacrifices my brother and Casey Sheehan and every other soldier has ever made. My brother died for this country. And I'm willing to die for this country. Because I'm an American.
