On this fourth of July I would like all people in the U.S. to remember our troops and all the sacrifices they have made for our freedom. We have fathers, sons, daughters and mothers who given so much over the years to ensure our safety and freedoms. we have had many wars with alot of losses over the years for the price of our freedom. We sometimes take this privledge for granted and don't remember where it came from or how we keep it! These men and women made this choice to serve our country or were drafted, but no matter how they got there, we owe them a debt of gradtitude for what they do for they're fellow americans. I for one have a son who serves in the U.S. Army and has been to Afghanistan twice and Iraq and by the grace of God has return to us each time unharmed physically, but changed emotionally as a person. The things they experience and see make them see what our freedoms are about and never take them for granted. So if anything lets learn from our soldiers that return and pray for the families that they're loved one payed the ultimate price, to them I thank-you and hope you know ,in my eyes your loved one is a hero to me!!!

As a mother who lost her son in Iraq, I applaud you.Troy chose to join "because there's a war on!" That's what he'd tell people when they'd ask "WHY?".May God keep our warriors strong and safe!
I just wanna thank you for this not many people know what we have to go through or worry about. My husband is serving our country and I have never been more proud of him but I always find myself wondering if the next time he leave is he gonna come home and it's armywife on the base we are at all they talk about is the money the get when their husband is deployed it's nice to find somebody who just like me appreciate what my husband and fellow troops do. THANK YOU AGAIN
I thank god for the guys that are willing to serve our country ...Thanks for raising a man that would step up and do the right thing in his own way of thinking ...no matter what others think ...I am proud of him too . God keep him safe and return him home soon ...I had three brothers that did their duty ,Viet Nam twice for one and that was hard .All three served there . Only one is still alive and retired from army after 25 years ......I will be praying for your son ...God bless you with His peace and strength at this time .
