    I just heard what some of the boys are doing for one another over there. My first cousin is married to one of our troops in Iraq and he won't be coming home for Christmas. He would have been allowed to, except that some of the soldiers without children are giving up their opportunity to go home to give it to their brothers-in-arms who do have children
    There are people on both sides of the debate who seem to forget that the troops are human beings and when they are no longer needed they forget about them. Pounding it out on the ground isn't as glamourous as flying in a jet or serving on a carrier, it is dirty, nasty, up close and in your face and the price the men pay is high.

    Even if you hate the war, you gotta love the warrior.
