^.^
I'm going to amke this short, because I am not going to do all of the speaking on this article. I'm simply going to say the following:
CIndy Sheehan, the other peaceniks, including those that march outside my window each Friday afternoon, do NOT speak for the majority of the American people, who I believe support our troops as they do their duties in Iraq and Afghanistan. Through their efforst, the world is being made a safer place, and the security of America, and the freedoms of the people in Iraq and Afghanistan, and perhaps other countries, will be secured with the hard work and bravery shown by our troops.
We'll see you all soon when you return home.
Now, to counter the Sheehan misfits, I am reprinting some of the quotes I have found from the website of Families United for Our Troops and Their Mission, which can be found at:
http://www.unitedforourtroops.com/
From: Kerry & Dodi White, of Boschobel, WI:
"Our son is a Marine and is currently serving his second tour in Iraq. Although it is a day to day worry, we believe in what our son is doing! HE believes in what he is doing and we find it sad that there are Americans that don’t stand behind our son as he fights for the very Freedom that they enjoy!"

From: John Ellsworth:
"I am the Father of a United States Marine who was killed in action. I am so proud of what our son was doing. He was saving lives every day. I truly believe he was born for this and he died for this. What Cindy Sheehan and her merry band of followers are doing will only cost us more lives by giving the ENEMY more support.”

From: Thea Nutter, of Comano Island, WA:
“I just sometimes wonder how these protesters think they have their freedoms to protest if it wasn’t for all the generations of soldiers fighting and dieing for this freedom. I would also love to hear what Sheehan’s son would have to say about his mother’s actions.”

From: Shirley & Bob Hemenway:
“We are sick and tired of what Cindy Sheehan is doing. She is being used, she has a history of this, and it concerns us. (Our) son died in the Pentagon on September 11th, 2001. He was never found. He was a husband and father of a two year old and a 10 month old. The evil mis-guided terrorists that are killing our people would just as soon kill you (Sheehan), (an infidel, according to them) as well as others that don’t prescribe to the terrorist’s convoluted ideas. They even kill other Muslims. ”

From: John Horrigan, of Austin, TX:
“My brother believed in the mission and knew that he was making our country safer here by defeating the terrorists there; He passionately believed in what he was doing, as did his fellow solders.”

There are more quotes from the families of REAL Americans at the website. These families have had the ultimate sacrifice happen to them, and they remain proud, they remain steadfast in their support for the troops, and their mission, and they are doing all of us proud!
One final quote, which I think sums up the feelings of these REAL Americans...
From: James Slaughter, of Zebulon, NC:
“Being a veteran, I’m very much in favor of protecting our way of life at any cost. If not us, who? If not now, when?”

Very well said!
