I have always had strong feelings of support for our troops but on Memorial Day those feelings run deep and strong. When our two Sons where growing up we would take them up to the Memorial Day Service at our Court House to watch their Grandfather shoot one of the guns before they played Taps. We would explain to them how soldiers fought and died so that we could be free and safe. In our town some people have forgotten that Sacrifice that was made for them. They staged a peace demonstration. I believe there is a time and a place for everything but this was not the time or the place. They have forgotten it took someone fighting and dying so that they could have the freedom of speech. Those who never had to sacrifice can never appreciate the cost. Freedom has always come with a price. Our son Levi is a Marine. He will be leaving for boot camp in March. Levi has always wanted to be a Marine. We are proud of his decision and will support him and the rest of the Troops. In these times of war and terrorism we feel the full impact of his decision. Levi feels the same as we do. We support our President in believing if you don't stop them over there they will be over here. My husband Kelly and I will be feeling and living the Sacrifice of not seeing our son for long periods of time and not knowing if he is safe or not. Levi is willing to fight and serve his Country. Levi knows the Sacrifice. We know the Sacrifice. Do you appreciate the Sacrifice? Ginger Reames

I am so proud to post this piece by my friend Ginger. I asked her to write about this because I knew her passion. I have questioned our involvement in Iraq but believe that we are standing against terrorism. I fully support our troops and President Bush's stand to stay firm. I know that he and his advisers know more than I do. I simply stand by our troops regardless of any controversy. Thank you, Ginger! Well said! I appreciate the Sacrifice. Let's pray for our soldiers. Thank you, Levi!

I agree completely with your friend Ginger. In this time of terroism we must stand strong behind our troops and our president. If we do not keep the terroist preoccupied with fighting over there they will bring the fight over here. How would the ant-war protesters feel about that? Maybe the civilian casualties would be our own. I believe the war could have been planned out better and went faster, but hindsight is always 20/20. God Bless our troops and people like Ginger who writes so passionately about protecting our freedoms which we all take for granted.
