Thank God for the internet, and our allies in the culture war who make finding and sharing the 'good news' easier (and less lonely *g*).

These men did a spectacular job and I don't think there is any way that we will ever be able to repay them. I only hope that they know how proud we are of each and every one of them. I hope they know that we weep for those who gave their lives and that we will never forget their sacrifice.

I've been watching the coverage of the 101st homecomings on the Nashville news, and taping the reports. I've yet to watch one without reaching for the tissue box.
It's obvious Gen. Patraeus is proud of the men and women under his command from the things he's said about them.
Guess what, General....so are we! So are we!!
My thanks to ALL who serve, or who have served, in protecting our country!!
