Been in the Army for 9 years now. Can't see myself doing anything else. I have a wife and 3 awesome kids that I would do anything for. I've been all over Iraq and currently back from Afghanistan soon to leave American soil again. Every battle I fight now is one less battle my kids may have to fight. No one has to support the wars we fight. If you dont support the soldiers that put their lives on hold and make sacrifices when called upon then move out of the U.S. and never pay taxes again and your money wont be paying for the war. It also wont be paying for the protection you will seek when terrorists come your way. I'd like to thank the great citizens of Florence, Kentucky for remembering me and for showing your support and patriotism by flying Old Glory. If you were the one that prayed for the Soldiers, clapped for them as they came home, shook their hands, told them thank you just for being a Soldier or just waved and smiled, then I thank you. There is nothing that can describe what the Soldier feels when he comes home from war and a complete stranger takes the time to stop and say thank you. We dont ask for or expect much, but some support is better than none. "Men don't follow leaders...They follow courage." This is something to think about: Since America is typically represented by an eagle. Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages ..The following verse is from the Koran, (the Islamic Bible) Koran (9:11 ) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace. (Note the verse number!) Hmmmmmmm?!
