>We came here to fight for the ones we hold dear.
>If that's not respected, we would rather stay here.
>So please stop yelling, put down your signs,

>When the conflict is over and all is well,
>be thankful that we chose to go through hell.

Protesters say....we actually do support the troops. Bull.

Guys and gals,

We got nothing to worry about with men and women like this standing on the wall.

God Bless them All!

I believe this if you don't support the war then you don't support the men and women fighting for the greatest country in the world.. I work with people who don't support the war and that thinks its stupid.. all I have to say to them is "If it wasn't for the men and women who fight the wars for us then we would not have what we do today..." Prays go out to all the men and women (all new branch of heros) who fight for my great country
and may God Bless each and everyone of them....
Love ya
Your friend and God Bless,
Tina
