I sit here in my insulated little hut... I am watching CNN, And absorbing the day remembering all those who have fallen... civilian and military
2nd Brigade has lost 53 soldiers in Iraq.
I don't know 53 men or women, who I would risk my life for.... I know 3 men, and 3 women not including my family.
These 53 soldiers died for me, I know this. I know they men died for America. I know these men died for you.
I sit here today crying for the victims and thier families who UNVOLUNTARILY sacrificed thier lives (yes it was a sacrifice, because they died for being Americans) these and all of our troops, men and women fighting for so many things, for so many reasons of thier own. But above all risking and giving thier lives for the American beliefs of Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
I DON'T agree with all things that other Americans do, believe, or are. Yet, I and Our soldiers are willing and they do die everyday for everyone of those rights we.... take for granted as our entitlement, our birthright.
Let us not ever forget that people, fellow Citizens, with the same entitlement and birthrights (inalienable rights), Have and continue to die for our American rights and freedoms. Thank them and remember them so that thier sacrifices are not in vain.
