Remember The Soldiers

Every Memorial Day, I am reminded of the terrible cost of freedom. Soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen who've made the gravest sacrifice are the people we remember on Monday. As you enjoy your cole slaw and baked beans this Monday afternoon, take a minute to remember what these people did to earn the freedom we daily take for granted.

Remember that this very day, a soldier, sailor, airman, Marine, or Coast Guardsmen is imperiling his safety, and possibly losing his life in the Iraqi Theater of Operations so that Islamofascists will be convinced of the futility and ineffectiveness of flying airliners into skyscrapers as a means of effecting political change in their adversaries.

But it was effective. War in Persia? Police state in the homeland? That's just what they wanted. The cost of freedom is high, yes. Maybe too high for most of us, and the soldiers, to bear, so we settle for unfreedom.

What "police state" are you talking about? Nobody's come to round up me or anyone I know. If you're whining about the holding of enemy prisoners of war, then whine somewhere else - you won't get any sympathy out of me.

When an enemy strikes you, and you take over his homeland, is that something the enemy wants or something the enemy doesn't think he risks by hitting you?

Too bad for Islamofascism. Too, too bad. They got what they deserved, desperately needed, and DID NOT WANT - democratic rule, and foreign invasion.

Hope they consider that the next time they try to kill our kids.

war is terrible yes the cost great but we must stay the course if we do like we've done before and allow this to pass how many more will die before we're shakin from our apathy liberal cowards and the fashists just want to see this nation destroyed so remember the soldiers and what the fight for and stop turning a blind eye to the world so that you can feel like you fought at least a little for your country
