This Thanksgiving finds America once again with well over a hundred-thousand young men and women stationed abroad in Iraq. When we bow our heads this coming Thursday in our warm, comfortable homes, surrounded by our friends and family, do let's take a moment to remember those who are putting their lives on the line for our country. I've made no pretense of supporting this folly in the middle east, but my heart aches with admiration for these brave youngsters who face terrors I could not possibly withstand.
I would like to recommend this NY Times article, In Falluja, Young Marines Saw the Savagery of an Urban War. Be forewarned, it is graphic and very upsetting in its description of combat.
May God above keep them safe and bring them quickly home to their families. For those who are not destined to return, may He grant them swift passing into His loving, eternal embrace.
