Happy Easter to all

Put down your politcal rhetoric badges for a moment and think of the KIDS that are in Iraq...
they ARE someone's sons, daughters, loved ones that MUST be prayed for..

especially remember Fallujah where my nephew is...

I wish it was not necessary for them to be there...
but if not there, we'd be fighting the battle here...

I was in te middle east in the 70's and it is a VERY strange place with NOTHING for most, and therefore nothing to loose..

Happy Easter to all!!

My step son also completed a tour just outside Bagdad, and now will deploy to Afganistan in a month or so.. Mom is a bit worried.. So many "uneasy" places on this planet.. We are truely blessed here.. My brother works in Angola Africa, and the area he works in is surounded with a mine field.. For THEIR protection!!! To keep the,, not so peaceful element out... A hard world for sure.... Peace to all..God bless America..and thanks for this site!!!!

As an ex-Marine veteran of Vietnam, my prayers are with my newer bretheren fighting today's battles. May they be kept safe.

Ninja,
thank you for your service...
and while it was happening I'm sure it was not the "best" of conditions...
but I'm also sure it gave you and experience base that will make you a better man, father, son, all of the above, for the rest of your life...

And unfortunatly, i don't think we will have peace in this world ever again...
it's NOT a battle with Iraq, it's NOT a battle with the Taliban, the Al-quida, the whatever, it's a battle with pure, unadulterated, EVIL !

The fact that they give it a name like Jihad, or give them names like Al-queda BURNS ME UP !

Don't glorify them...Just call it what it is - Crimes and Criminals !!!!!
