I wanted to take this opportunity on the day we set aside for our fallen military personnel to share my feelings about the brave men and women that have and continue to pay the ultimate price in defense of our great nation.
I am able to publish this blog because men and women for over 200 years have fought and died in the name of liberty, and the American way to protect my right to dissent.
People can make their own judgement about whether our current foreign policy is working. We'll have a referendum in about a year and a half mainly on this issue, and men and women have died to protect that right to make the choice. We owe it to them to take advantage of this chance, but we must not forget their sacrifice.
As I've said before, the men an women of our military have achieved every task they've been given, they have fought with honor and dignity in almost every case, and whether they agree with the conversation going on here about the war, every one of them is a hero, and we shouldn't let them forget that.
In these brave men and women's honor, let us make sure our government understands that it must give the troops the tools to win the war, and goals with a plan to achieve it. Lets make sure they have the armor they need. Lets make sure we provide funding and world-class care through our V.A. (don't forget FisherHouse), and help our troops get the medical care they deserve. Lets make sure they are given plan to win, or send them home. Let's not keep them on the fence in Iraq, Afghanistan, or anywhere else they are.
These are our son's and daughter's, our brother's and sisters, every one. They don't ask for anything in return for their life. They died fighting for us. Not a foreign policy. Not the Republican or Democratic party. They are doing it for you, so that you can do what you are doing right now.
Don't they deserve a government and citizen body that takes better care of them, in battle or at home? One that honors the many fallen heroes memory by working for our soldiers in harm's way right now.
I personally think they deserve so much more. I want to thank them for the price they and their family (lets not forget them either) have paid.
They should all be our heroes.... And we should never forget their sacrifice.
