Open Letter to our Troops!
One of the things I’m sure of is how I should start this letter, the only real way, with honesty and conviction. I thought it was time and I’m sure that it’s a little long over due. (About 5 years! For that I’m sorry.) During which time brave men and women have lost their lives defending this great nation and her decision to go to war with Iraq. I know at the beginning it seemed like you were off to fight the devil’s that attacked America, (and you are.) I know it seems like your fighting and uphill battle not only over there, but back home too! Trust me when I tell you, that your NOT! America and American’s are behind you everyday. We see the good that you’re doing over there, helping a group of people become free and keeping us safe. We know the sacrifices you and your families make when they helped you pack your bags and said goodbye.
See they forget how good the USA really is. Why so many people from all around the world want to live here. They forget all the brave Men and Women that died fighting for our freedoms over the course of our history. They also forget the sacrifices you all made when joining the military. How you must say goodbye to your family and friends, before leaving to defend this great nation. Now some will say that we have no business over there, but brother and sisters we do have a right to be there. Someone ATTACKED THE USA ON 9/11 and we must remember that day to ensure that this does not happen again... We must take the fight to their play ground and show them who the boss is!
What you’re doing right now is very important to our future, it sends a message to the rest of the world. IF you attack us, we will come and find you and make you pay. I know that the battle field has changed, but remember this is a new enemy and he has many faces and playing fields. Just remember that America and Americans are very proud of you and we do support you. We pray that GOD keeps you safe and blesses you! Fight the good fight, and remember that America is about Freedom, and in the words of Francis Scott Key. O SAY CAN YOU SEE!
GOD BLESS YOU, and GOD BLESS THE USA!
