"Wish You Were Here"

For all the free people that still protest.
You're welcome. We protect you and you are protected by the best.
Your voice is strong and loud,
but who will fight for you? No one standing in your crowd.
We are your fathers, brothers, and sons,
wearing the boots and carrying guns.
We are the ones that leave all we own,
to make sure your future is carved in stone.
We are the ones who fight and die,
We might not be able to save the world, Well, at least we try.
We walked the paths to where we are at
and we want no choice other than that.
so when you rally your group to complain,
take a look in the back of your brain.
In order for that flag you love to fly
wars must be fought and young men must die.
We came here to fight for the ones we hold dear.
If that's not respected, we would rather stay here.
So please stop yelling, put down your signs,
and pray for those behind enemy lines.
When the conflict is over and all is well,
be thankful that we chose to go through hell.



Corporal Joshua Miles and all the boys from 3rd Battalion 2nd Marines,
Kuwait 3/9/2003

Good Morning.

This is the Daily Thread of Operation Iraqi Freedom - Situation Room - LIVE THREAD.

It is designed for general conversation about the events of the day. In depth discussion of events should be left to individual threads - but links to the threads or other articles is highly encouraged. This allows us to stay abreast of the situation in general, while also providing a means of obtaining specific information.

Please have mercy on us dial up limited FReepers! Limit the big graphics, post links instead. A brief description of what the graphic is would help!  If you post graphics, please "size" them so that our browsers continue to load the rest of the thread!

The truth has set us all free.

Thank you God for the wisdom you gave our President Bush.

This is the day that makes us all proud to be not only Americans, Republicans, but humanity, that God gave us the right and the freedom to live LIFE!

"Is there any books I can read about those old tunnels?"

I have no idea. I've never seen a book on them. But I know they're there.

Have you ever been into the USDC in LA? That building has crazy staircases. Unless you know where they are, you'd never find them.

"We may allow ourselves a brief period of rejoicing. But let us not forget for a moment, the toils that lay ahead. ... ADVANCE BRITANNIA! LONG LIVE THE COURSE OF FREEDOM! GOD SAVE THE KING"

As a German, born 36 1/2 years after PM Churchill spoke these words on May 8 1945, I can repeat them and may add:

ADVANCE AMERICA!

I wonder what his DU screen name is.
