Ditto for all the above.

It is about time.

Just like a little kid waiting for XMAS morn.

We ( the troops ) are there, and doing their jobs, and we here in the USA are greatly appreciating their presense over there and wishing them ALL a safe homecoming.

God Speed and God Bless them all no matter what their job.

All the statements above are sooo true. We all hate war but this issue has to be put back into a box. Hopefully we can clean this up quickly and save lives where we can in the process.

I think alot of our troops and wish them well. Be safe and move forward. We American's who have gone before you are watching your back.

Be smart and be safe.

Some of us are Veterans of foreign wars and conflicts, we know the saying "hurry up and wait" quite well. Waiting for H-hour to kick off sends so many emotions to the forefront of our minds. Writing letters to loved ones isn't an easy task. Feeling the butterflies swarming in your stomach as the hours before war grow near. Fear and excitement are felt but hopefully are controlled emotions.

Our soldiers fighting this war experienced similar rushes of emotions before the first moments of kick off. The uncertainty of their fate was thought of. When H-hour kicked off, their main focus became watching their six and their brother's too. And of course, winning this war with Iraq goes without saying.

Our young soldiers, each one having their own reason for enlisting in the Military, all have one common thread and that is serving their country to maintain freedom and liberty. I am forever grateful to all of them.

Let's kick some butt!!
