War is hell, and it takes a heavy toll not just on those who pay the supreme sacrifice, but also on the families left behind. I cannot imagine losing my Dad at such a young age, never being able to hold him or talk to him again.

The difference is - I put the blame squarely on our enemies who threaten and attack us. THEY are the cause of so much pain and misery, not the brave soldiers who travel halfway around the world to combat such evil. In contrast, our liberal brothers and sisters are quick to point the finger of blame at America, accusing the U.S. of being the primary source of evil and instability in the world. It is an astounding display of hate and ignorance, and does a great dishonor to all who have served so tirelessly and selflessly to defend their precious freedoms.

May God bless our brave warriors, and may we never forget our debt to them.

My feelings exactly. Soldiers in combat should always be supported no matter what the politics of the day. Children have lost their fathers in this war and it’s going to be a tearful Memorial Day for them.
