Moving Forward (National Review: Troops Moved by Support from Americans)
*** Be sure to read the notes from the troops in Iraq & Afghanistan in the article - they say how they feel about the support they get from home

All of the authors [of our report] have traveled to Iraq outside of the Green Zone — whereas the Iraq Study Group only traveled within the Green Zone — on one trip only. And unlike the Iraq Study Group, we did not ignore the incredible accomplishments being made by the people of the three most northern provinces in Iraq — Iraqi Kurdistan.

Well then...it looks like we need to get a Freepathon going for the $7000 to send you with them.

That sounds like a very worthy cause to me!!

It took us 19 days to complete the last lousy freepathon.

Keep in mind there are only 90 days in a quarter, needing 19 is not good.

[Txsleuth]

Very true...but, I can dream.

[Just A Nobody]

LOL! Thanks for the support sleuth.

Bureaucrats + Justa = baaaaad situation! LOL!
Please note the tagline. ;*)

[Txsleuth]

I am for sure going to support the trip...but I would LOVE for the money to go to you...so you could go...but, I am not in the position to give $7000..as much as I would like to.

How sweet of you, but no...any available funds should go to the Gold Star parents.

[lilycicero]

Debbie,

Your son will be missed and his sacrifice shall not be forgotten. He is a warrior for freedom and died for the cause. God bless him and your family.

May God and his son, Jesus be with you and your family in this darkness. The blessings we have received from our lord are because of your son. We will pray for all of you.

Beautiful World
