May 17th Armed Forces Day

Just wanted to post my support for our troops on this blog about May 17, 2008 as Armed Forces Day. May all troops in harms way overseas from all of the different branches be safe!! As a former military member and now military retiree I wholeheartedly support all troops in our active military, guard members and reservists.

Politically the democrats wants to bring our troops home from Iraq sooner than it would seem the Republicans would. Sen John McCain said today that the USA can win the war in Iraq by 2013?! We've been there now 7 years and the the American death toll has fallen off drastically which is great news. Now only if the Iraqi's can only claim back their country & democracy and pick up the slack so that our troops would be able to leave some day!

It seems that an American presence however small may be required there for some time with so much at stake and so much of our monetary resources spent. We dont want to pull out and let the country be overrun and our resources, time and energy spent on the Iraq War be wasted!!

MAY

2008

Hapy Armed Forces Day -- and lets pray for toops to make it home safe soon. SOON like 6 months.

Stephen great post. Happy Armed forces day to all active military and veterans!

Thank you for your comments Eric. Yes the upcoming election is only 6 months away but that could decide how much further away our troops would be coming home depending upon who gets elected! Jason & Deanna just to let you know there were more guard members and reservists in Iraq than Active duty personnel when the Iraq War started. Im just making the distinction between Active Duty personnel, Guard and Reservists fighting the war! They all of course need and deserve our support!!

Stephen,

Thanks for remembering our veterans. I too want the troops to come home but not at the expense of Iraq and Afganistan returning to their previous condition!
