Great job today, SAM, on Guadalcanal! Everyday I think about what efforts and sacrifices these young men had to make for their country, and I thank God for for their efforts and His love for us.

With no disrepect to todays's military, the "Greatest Generation" was the lever arm on the fulcrum of history, which prevented a terrible new Dark Ages to engulf the World. It is unbelievable what kind of fierce battles and carnage the US forces had to face in such a place.

Please remember to personally thank each and every WWII veteran when you meet one.

I also am pleased that our current generation military is so professional and dedicated to their mission and country. May God watch over them all where they serve around the globe.

Thanks texson66.

It PO's me to see the press and the Democrats griping everyday about the casualties in the Iraq and Afghanistan.

Although each is a personal tragedy, they seem to forget that during the Vietnam War, Americans lost an average of 15 dead every day; during the Korean War, 30 every day; and during World War II, an average of 214 every day.

They also seem to forget places like Pearl Harbor, Bataan, Bastonge, Chosin, Pusan, Khe Sanh. Times when things were going bad for us, but we overcame, recovered and triumphed.

I really really despise the America haters in this country.

Our troops are doing an excellent job in Iraq.
