It is sad that someone must die for us to live in freedom. It has always been that way. Different enemies, locations, and technology but war remains the same. Someone must pay the price. Be thankful that young American boys are willing.
The cost of our freedom truly isn't free, and reaches beyond the battlefield,... as we pay Honor to those that have given all,... let's not forget those they left behind, be a Son to those that have lost theres, a Friend to to the spouses and a Father to the Fatherless,....... And to those that will stay young forever in my mind, you will never be forgotten.
Up here in Canada, "Yank bashing" is fashionable a****st the left wing media and intelligentsia. Makes me wanna choke someone every time I read or hear it. Canada is inextricably linked to America, like it or not. Yes, our modest military has made contributions over the years, but we would not have the freedom we enjoy today were it not for the US. There are lots of us up here that recognize that. Lots of people in lots of other parts of the world owe the US for their safety as well. So, a humble thanks from one Canuk to the guys who get the tough jobs done.
A heartfelt thanks to all who served & still serve! We are lucky to have legions of heros stationed all over the globe & they make us proud to be an American!
