MEMORIAL DAY 2006

Today is the day when we honor those who have given the ultimate sacrifice to keep our nation free. We also salute the men and women who now serve in uniform. That's why it is so disturbing to see the comments from Rep. John Murtha about alleged abuses by Marines in Iraq. The investigation is continuing, but in the meantime the media jump to conclusions based on Murtha's remarks. Awful timing... and it makes you wonder about his motivations in saying this situation is "worse that Abu Gharaib". This talk doesn't help our troops, and allows terrorist to ramp up anti-American sentiment around the world. The majority of our troops serve valiantly, putting their lives on the live for freedom-loving people every day. Let's remember that and keep everything in perspective on this Memorial Day.
