Suicide Bombing

I'm sure everyone has heard about this story. Capt. Russ Rippetoe mentioned in the story was a friend of mine. I was just shooting pool with the guy 4-5 weeks ago and now he's gone. We owe a lot to these guys. I wish everyone understood that.

If he had family near buy...and this message is for you also...Please mention we appreciate his service to our Great Country, and that it's people like him that give us the freedom, and the sanctity to go to bed at night without fear!

My dad is a former Vietnam Vet, and a retired Air Force guy, so I appreciate any and everyone that serves our country. He did not die in vein, he just left a legacy for other's!

I am very sorry

I am very sorry

I am very sorry to hear about the death of your friend and all of our servicemen & women.

They died defending FREEDOM. The FREEDOM to live. The FREEDOM to choose where to live, where to go to school, where to work.

Iraqi people are being liberated from the FEAR of having their tongues cut out, watching their daughters being RAPED.

I cringe when I hear these stories about the suffering of Iraqi people. I also cringe when I think about another terrorist attack. If left unchecked, Iraq could have delivered another attack on our soil.

These people will not play nice, if we do. They hate us for being what they once were, the leaders of the world.

God Bless America.

My condolences. His courage and patriotism are what make those guys so special. Without them we would be nothing. I'll keep his family and friends in prayers.

I am so sorry to hear of this, nothing anyone can do or say can bring a friend or loved one back. Cherish the memory of the good times you spent together and honor the sacrifice he made for mankind.

I am reminded of the following words of Winston Churchill: "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few."

May God Bless !
