I strongly urge everyone (if you haven't done so already!) to check out the Families United website. If you support our troops and their goals and objectives then you will appreciate everything this group is doing. God bless all of our Gold Star families!

"Three years ago on this day, men and children kept small by a dictator grew, even as a bronze gaud glorifying the monster was cut down by their hands." This final quote on Joe's Dartblog is a beautifully written explanation of why Iraqi Liberation day - and every day that this nation continues to have hope and freedom - is important. These people, oppressed for decades - are now able to grow as a people and as individuals without fear and with a renewed confidence. Thank you to our troops and those around the world who have assisted in this effort.
