A reminder of how grateful we should be to our Iraq veterans
You must not miss this beautifully written article by a young soldier returned from Iraq who sacrificed so much--as did his colleagues--to free the people of Iraq at the direction of a Congress and voters who now seem to be oblivious to their accomplishments.
I came home expecting to find the sacrifice of these brave patriots revered at every turn by those who overwhelmingly sent us to war from Washington.I'm still looking.
If you can't bring yourself to give the living the sense of accomplishment for winning a war that many claimed was endless, at least humor the dead. Allow them to rest knowing that the war that took their lives was won because of their sacrifice.
Is that too much to ask for?
