My oldest son served two tours in Iraq and the first time I was told he was going there, my heart sank and the whole year he was there I was scared to death to even watch the news at all. I completely turned away from CNN because I was always so afraid they would be reporting from Iraq and I would somehow see him hurt or worse. I was so thankful when he left there. He was still based in Germany but I was OK with that just knowing he wasn't over there in Iraq anymore. A year later I got a message from him telling me they were deploying them back to Iraq again to serve another year. I almost lost it. Another year of holding my breath and praying he would be safe. Thank God he came home safe and is out of the army which I am so thankful for. I couldn't go through another year of that again. Those men and women there need so much more recognition than they get. Actually they deserve a lot more than just that. They should never have to pay taxes and each of them should receive an award for what they have done for us. They have after all fought for our country and so many have given their lives for us so that we can live free. We can never thank them enough. God Bless Our Troops!!! God Bless America!!

Blessings to you and your family for your father's contribution to our freedom. I believe many people share your thoughts on this war and the families that have been shattered. Media outlets don't show the bodies that are sent home. Carol, great post. Blessings to you and your family for your father’s contribution to our freedom.

As a child of a WW2 marine who died on Iwo Jima I have always felt that war should not be faught unless our country is invaded. True, we were attacked but nobody seems to admit that we don't know by whom. We should not go to all of the world and try to set up our way of life. Bring the guys home and protect our lives from the borders of our land. Please, it's no fun to never have met your father or lost him while you're growning up. Not to mention the grief of the widow and family of the soldiers. Good morning.
