Since the war on terror began, so many have been divided -- are you for the war or against it? It's unfortunate that the recent war has become pegged as simply a political device with no redeeming qualities at all. That's not to say that war is just bright and cheerful and pleasant, but there's so much negativity surrounding it that any positives, any progress is clouded and, at times, never known. War isn't what anyone ever wants (or shouldn't) but let's face the fact that we're there. And our men and women of service are pouring their hearts into what they are doing. Regardless of what political angles may be playing out in this war, many, if not most, of these young men and women do believe in the cause of freedom for which they are engaged. My question is are we willing to support them? Forget the war for a moment, they need support. The question of the hour is, do you support the troops? There they are, thousands of miles from home; tired; longing for a home cooked meal I'm sure -- would you want to hear that you're doing a terrible thing and completely unsupported by your own country? Absolutely not. So, what can we do? Write; email; here's a good website to look at to find a way to get involved:

Take the time this Independence day weekend to let them know that you support them and appreciate them and their service. They deserve it!
