If you didn't notice the title of this page, be forewarned. I'm a USA-loving, flag-waving citizen of this great country who fully supports our military. I make no apology for it and I'm ... |
Proud to Be Patriotic! |
| The debt I owe to the many who have shed their blood that I might make that claim can never be repaid. It can only be fully acknowledged by living my life so that their sacrifice was not made in vain. |
I dedicate this page to all those men and women who are risking their lives, marching, driving, flying, in support convoys, and those who keep those satellites spinning and spewing out pictures and directions to guide them. |
| GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU SAFE UNTIL YOU'RE HOME AGAIN! |

Our troops, some career soldiers and some citizen-soldiers, today battle fierce sandstorms in a faraway desert. Even so they are following in the snow-covered footsteps of citizen-soldiers under the command of General George Washington, who endured hardships we cannot even imagine in our soft lives. Soft lives they bought for us, many knowing they would never reap any benefit from their hard duty. They did it for us, their descendants. So these modern-day volunteers are doing today. Americans had never been attacked in our homeland before September 11, 2001. We reeled in shock, and for a while all were united. Those who had orchestrated the deed must be found and stopped from ever contemplating such a thing again. But now the memories of some have dimmed. They somehow convince themselves that if we don't provoke anyone, it won't happen again.
