    Support the troops

    I would also like to thank the men and women who serve our country day in and day out. Secondly, I would like to thank the writer of the editorial on 10/27 for bringing attention to our service men and women. Too often are they forgotten, but when they are remembered they are remembered for the wrong reasons.

    People often think they are fighting over there for no reason, but as previously stated they are over there fighting for our freedom so we can live our lives the way we want to. Even if people don’t agree with why we are over there, we need to support WHO is over there.

    Personally, I have and had friends who were overseas fighting, but even if someone doesn’t understand why we are over there,

    I know one thing and that is: I will support the men and women of our Armed Forces for whatever reason it is because they risk their lives for us, the lives of people they have never met because they love their country and the people in it.
