4,000 of America's finest have now died after five years of U.S. involvement in Iraq.
May God bless their families and friends.

exscentric said:"the majority of whom their lives have been ruined."
Radically changed but not ruined most go on to lead productive lives raising families etc. Not to diminish their sacrifice/loss nor their hardships ahead. Yes, some will not but lets not paint with that broad brush to make a political point.. :thumbs:
Just a suggestion: Lets keep this thread to honoring those that have given for their country.:tear:
After you get back from this visit, would you give us an update.Crabtownboy said:My suggestion is to go to Walter Reed and see the shattered lives and tell me the quality of life many will have who are so terribly injured.

I honor all of our military men and women for their service to our country. Especially those who gave their all, and their families.
Best I can figure, the suggestion was yours. I just figured you'd want to set the example.Crabtownboy said:Now, what did you see on your visit?[/B]:tonofbricks:
SBCPreacher said:Again, I am glad to honor all of our military, especially those who have given their lives in their service to our country.
Before I consider such a request, how many families are you supporting with $500 a month? And if you're not doing the same, where do you get off trying to tell the rest of us what to do?Crabtownboy said:If you really want to honor them, pick out a family, or have your church pick out ten families and support them with $500 a month. Might help some of them off welfare.
There are many there with no arms or legs. Many with brain damage and they will basically know nothing the rest of their lives. There are those terribly burned and will never be viewed as normal by 'normal' people. There are many who are paralised and will never move normally, some can move only if someone moves them. Many are so mentally scarred they can never live a normal life.
