Memorial Day

I wonder if we all got together and talked, just how many of us know someone who was either wounded or killed in the war in Iraq. I came across this soldiers story the other day and it touched me. I don't think it's much different from the HUNDREDS of other stories from wounded soldiers that are out there but this young man is from my area so of course, it's a bit closer to home if you will. I think it's very important to keep a face to this war. I want to see the soldiers who are there. Our sons, daughters, husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, uncles, brothers, sisters. We need to keep this war personal. We need to remember that OUR people are over there fighting the most horrific battles, representing the greatest nation in the world, the United States of America. We cannot for one moment forget the sacrifice that the men and women of the United States armed forces are making for us. No matter how you feel about that asshat GWB, we have to continue to support and show our troops that we actually give a damn about what they're going through while we sit in our nice, cool homes, eating our delicious food surrounded by people we love. Most importantly, we need to care and support our wounded. Those are the true hero's, the ones that re-live their sacrifice every time they look in the mirror.

Please visit this web site and read about this courageous young man. If it's in your power, please consider a donation either to him or one of the many wonderful organizations that help the wounded soldiers and their families. http://www.casimirwerda.com/index.html

Most importantly, please pray for our troops. God bless them and our country.
