This is true.  "Every day of Freedom is a Good day to Thank a Veteran."

Beg your pardon?

Are you asking why didn't we stop hunting Saddam Hussien?  The leader of 
a Country who lived in lavish luxury while his people barely had grass 
huts in which to live out of? 

Are you asking why we havn't stopped hunting for Osama bin Laden, the 
leader of the attack on Americans, on American soil, in which three plus 
thousand people died instantaneously, and more died in the aftermath 
from their injuries?

What would -you- have us do?  Go to Afghanastan, find the rebels, hold 
their hands and sing 'Kum Bay Yah" with 'em?

Unless the Draft is re-instated, that argument has no creed in a 
Volunteer Military.

Whether or not you agree with -why- our volunteering soldiers are 
deployed wherever they are sent, in the name of This Country, *do* honor 
them by being a responsible citizen of This Country and /support our 
Troops/, until the last one comes home.
