There are men and women serving the United States in various places around this world of ours. Some of those places are likely relatively safe and boring. Some are very dangerous and are places where a soldier's life is not guaranteed from one moment to the next. Yet, the brave individuals who make up our Armed Forces follow the orders that they are given, regardless of the risk. They protect us, whether they know us or not. They all have families and they all have something to lose. But they serve, no questions asked.
This soldier just got back from Iraq. It is a very dangerous place. And, it is a place where many think we should not be. I think otherwise because I fear what might happen if we don't fight this war somewhere besides here, on our soil. Nevertheless, this is a picture of a soldier and his dad after he returned from Iraq. It makes me proud to know someone who would serve my country and ultimately me in the manner that he did. Please, think about this before you speak out against the war. People that you will never meet are willing to risk their own lives to serve, to fight, and to protect you and your liberty...today and into the future. Thank God for our troops.
Welcome home, Mike.
