The troops we visited sent a message home.
They wanted the US to know that they want to complete their mission.

They have not asked to be rescued or brought home by the Dems.

They asked that CNN not subscribe to any more snuff films of soldiers being targeted for the benifit of news ratings.

They asked that CNN not report where they are going before they get there.

We met people that were forever grateful to the United States for the liberation of their country.

The troops we visited sent a message home.
They wanted the US to know that they want to complete their mission.

Freedom, so glad there are Americans who appreciate it and wish to share it,

we all benefit from the bravery of your son, Capt. Derek Argel,

you are wonderful for going to visit, it will mean so much to those who continue to serve to see you, thanks.

[Just A Nobody]

It is the least I can do for those that gave so much.

Thanks smooth!
