We don't all agree on the war, but maybe we can all agree on showing the troops that we care what happens to them and think about more than our own selfish little lives or political differences. We may not agree on why they were sent, but maybe we can agree they are there for us. Send a message of gratitude to our troops by responding to this Q, by posting on your profile or webpage, by sending a care package or letter to our soldiers and/or by giving back to the injured. I bow my head to the injured and dead, and to those who fight for all of us, Thank You.

Bin - This is about supporting the troops, not expressing our individual political opinions. Put some of that passion into doing something to show your appreciation to the guys who are sacrificing for us - send a care package, give back to a severely injured vet. At least say thank you.

Whirling W Dervish - What a sad statistic - and shame on US for permitting this. And Thank You. Thank you to you and to all the other Vietnam vets for fighting for us, for me, in Vietnam - you were soldiers and your job was to go where you were sent and do what you were told and, within those limits, to make the best moral choices you could - whatever the moral issues of Vietnam, none of it was the soldiers' fault or even their choice, and most of you did the best you knew how in a bad situation. There is no blame to any of you, only honor.

As a Vietnam ERA Marine I still get mocked ridiculed and berated on almost a daily basis.
I have come to live with the fact that Fat Cats want our blood when we are young but turn their back on us when we are old and crippled. It's easy to walk away with a couple bullets in you when your 18 years old; but give it a few decades and it is throbbing pain every day all day long.
Wednesday the VA released a statement that 25% of America's homeless are Vets.

THANK YOU for the links!!
I'm going to copy them and pass them along.
I live in a military community, and I'm part of a military family. I think of our troops - past and present - regularly, and if I see a soldier or airman in town, I thank them for their service.

Yes my prayers are always with our troops. I support them and sure like most of us I want them home with their love ones. Thank you for the kind reminder.

Been there, done that and got the t-shirt.
I help soldiers and marines on a daily basis.

They are the heros that stood up for America. They are the brave and REAL MEN (and women).
America's finest and best.
A big THANK YOU from all of my family.

I am. I wish we would waste less time arguing and more on getting them home in an expedient manner.

I'm thinking of all those Iraqi weapons of mass destruction that Saddam almost used on the USA!
