This is a moment of American History. It has nothing to do with politics, which I am sure many politicians will use this during the November election.
This is a moment of American History because what our military has done in Iraq. Many can talk about that we should not been there in the first place, but it will not be talked about here in this post. This is a time to reflect for all that fought and died in this war. They are the reason we are free today. Freedom is not free. It comes at a cost.
Freedom is won by military victory. It is not given by politicians. That is not their jobs. Our Founding Fathers did not give us freedom just by the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. It was done by blood and guts in the Revolutionary War, which should have been called the War of Independence.
The credit of what our military has done is by the sacrifice of all that fought in this war. The heroes are the ones that will not come back and the ones that will. They should be honored in every way. When we wake up in the morning, go to work, during work, etc., we should do all we do with humility over all that has done these past seven years by the wonderful people in our military. They are the reason why you can do all those things.
It is hard to say if we won or lost in this war, but I am grateful for all that have fought and died in this war. I solute all the family members of the ones that were in this war. I write this post in this political blog on mine to remind all voters and politicians that we have freedom because of our military. Look at this country as if we did not have people that will fight and die for freedom of all. Look at this country if we did not have the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United Sates of America.
Will you be able to talk against the war in Iraq? Will you be able to have the freedoms you have today? In how others live around the world, there is no country that has so much freedom as the United States of America. It was not easy to become the country in the way it it now. Our Founding Fathers fought hard and dirty in order to push through the British colonial tyranny.
Throughout the years, we have been challenged in all that makes America the greatest nation in human history. Each and every time we held our heads up high. From time to time we have tripped and failed, but we got back up and stood up tall. Now as of August 31, 2010, we have left Iraq as Americans. There will be talk during the November election using the war in Iraq to help them get elected. Just remember that these politicians did not give you the freedoms that the military fought on the behalf of all Americans.
