As a father of 3 (one being a 4 year old little girl) this really hits home.
It's one of the biggest sacrifices any of our soldiers must endure. May God bless that family and return daddy home safely to his little princess.

We can't say thanks enough to all of our American soldiers who leave their families behind and put their lives at risk every day so we can be home safe with our families. You are very much loved and missed by all. God bless you and get home safe. Thanks again.

He had to leave his family..as well as other soldiers did. So you could write what you feel, Freedom of Speech. Thank another soldier who left his family for that. Why don't you try going out and doing something with your life instead of sitting at home wasting MY tax dollars.

Dear "Jerk";

I know you just wanted attention when you wrote your blasmitic comment. Well we all gave it to you. Your welcome.
But, a better way to get attention is to put yourself out there where that little girls daddy is and fight to win a war that is never going to end.
Another way to get yourself attnetion is to put a sign on your back that says " I am a real A88 hole and I dont support the soliders that are fighting for my freedom, the next thing you can do is go and voluntariily put yourself into a holding cell at BCP and stay there forever because you obviously dont care about freedom and rights.
Your a piece of work buddy. Why dont you volunteer or something with your obvious free time. Get a grip on reality and wake up and smell fresh air because one day all your rights and freedoms could be gone because you seem to think the war to save us is a big joke.

Thanks! And I had to laugh at the BCP comment. The Soldier in the picture has a Brother working up at BCP as a CO. Thank you for your support!

It may be old, but Abby is out there doing the interviews trying to raise awareness for the Troops. If you hate the lazy, why don't you go to the store and purchase a few items that we take for granted everyday, and take those purchases to your VFW, to send to the troops.

By the way, is this one of the FOX network stations?I f it is, you know what you can do with your sensationalism reporting, STICK IT!!

Daily Horoscope for December 8

Virgo

At some point today you'll enjoy working on a pastime or getting together with a group of kindred spirits. This will help you to relax and remind you that there's much more to life than mundane chores and a need to pay the bills. A friend is full of quiet commonsense that's well worth listening to, even if it won't set the world alight.
