Reply #53: my gratitude to you,your spouse and other military families [View All]

I have such admiration for our armed forces even though I'm against this Iraq debacle with my entire soul. We have a Army Reserve post a few blocks from my house. Driving by a while back it looked to me like they were "shipping out". I had to pull over because I was just sobbing. Very emotional even as I write this. I didn't know any of those young men but I wanted to go over and give them all a huge hug. Like most at DU, I support our troops just not this administration. Thank you for being vocal - it's encouraging for me to hear that many military families don't agree either.
