Every now and then, it is easy for us here in the states to forget that there are other things happening in life around us besides what we are going through. The media rarely reports on the continuing war in Iraq, and that is just wrong. I think it is vital to keep every American continuously updated on the events of the middle east. Our troops are fighting their hearts out and giving their lives every day so that we can enjoy the very freedom we have today. As a former active duty Navy sailor during the 1st Gulf War, and National Guard veteran, it kills me to hear about stories such as what happened to one of our SEAL teams recently. Every single American needs to read this story and understand that we are conducting these types of operations on a daily basis. For obvious reasons, we can't always know about them, but that doesn't mean we should forget about it. Please keep our troops in your minds and in your prayers. We owe them quite a bit. Next time you pass a serviceman in uniform, stop them and just say "thank you".
