A Tribute to all Service Personal that have served their Country , the United States of America and have given their lives in the past to allow us The American People to live in freedom and who continue to serve their country and fight to protect that freedom.
In 2003, whether it be Right or Wrong, our country made the choice to go to war in Iraq and rid that country of a terrible leader that can not even be classed as a "human being" and to give the Iraqi people back their freedom and the right to not have to live in fear and to protect the American people from the evil Saddam Hussein was capable of.
Our country was not alone in this decision. We had the strong support of our allies the British and the Australian troops. There were many countries that supported us in many different ways and to them our heartfelt thanks .
No, war is without controversy or is it possible to keep politics on a back page. No matter what anyone's personal feelings are no one or any country should ever make the mistake that Americans are split in the love of their country and the support of their men and women that are fighting to give another country the freedom that we all enjoy. We have the greatest Military in the world that never hesitate to put their lives on the line for their country.
As this terrible war continues and so many of our young people have given their life to serve their country, we all have our opinions of how and what should be done to end this conflict and bring our military home.
Those who disagree, on how the government is handling the situation have heard over and over that they are being unpatriotic and do not support our troops. It is every Americans right to disagree or agree. But, let me make one thing very clear, every American fully supports our troops and we all grieve for every life that is lost and for every man and woman that comes home injured no matter how we may feel about the decisions being made. We grieve for the families who have lost their sons and daughters.
"Through out its history , America has given hope,comfort and inspiration to freedom's cause in all lands. The reservoir of good will and respect for America was not built up by American arms or intrigue; it was built upon deep dedication to the cause of human liberty and welfare."
Adlai Stevenson
"I shall know but one country. The ends I aim at shall be my conuntry's, my God's and Truth's. I was born an American; I live an American; I shall die an American."
Daniel Webster
"Iraqi "
"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend,oppose any foe,to assure the survival and success of liberty."
