That was a great post val.... I am in the Air Force and it really cuts deep when I see people that are so against us. I believe that everyone that is willing to put their life on the line for their country is a hero. I don't think that Pat was anymore of a hero than anyone else serving, I just think that he was exceptional for what he had and gave up.

I am proud of my country and would fight to defend it. People don't think that we had any reason for going into Iraq. President Bush made a promise to do anything and everything in his power to protect the people of the U.S. He made a decision that even though he knew wouldn't be the most popular one, was the one that would most protect the security of the United States.

Do I believe that Iraq had WMD's? I don't know. I do know that they have had them and never showed proof of them being destroyed. If they had been destroyed, why didn't he show the proof that would have prevented us going over there?

I firmly stand behind the President of my country. I am ready and willing to go wherever, whenever I am needed. I am proud to say that I am part of the same service as those fighting now.

Whether you believe in the war or not, you should respect the selflessness of those serving to protect our freedom....

Sorry for the long post, thank you for listening.......
