We thank so much for protecting our country and making it safe for all of us at home. We appreciate the fact that you are giving a great sacrifice for the rest of us who go about their daily life as though there is nothing to worry about. Thank you, thank you from all of us who care and realize the circumstances. God bless you all. May this bring peace and all of you home soon.

I want you to know that the only people who disrespect you back here in the States are the politicians who want nothing more than to unseat our Commander in Chief. They know nothing of the burdens you carry and have no idea what dedication to duty or self sacrifice mean. Remember you are fighting for all the people, not just the liberal elite or their newspapers. You are not fighting just for the beautiful people of Hollywood, but for every American. Those Americans respect you and are thankful, as I am, for your service, dedication to duty, and your bravery in the face of a sometimes faceless enemy.

During the Korean War my husband Bob was in the Transportation Corps and spent 1 year in Greenland. That was when Russia was the big threat, and it was expected to attack us over the North Pole. He said my letters from home helped him so much; I wrote him every night and brought him up-to-date on the antics of our 1yr. old daughter and infant son (born at Ft. Eustis VA.) We are in ranching (4th generation) so I wrote daily accounts of events at the ranch. My dad had bought him a new horse off the King Ranch so I brought him up to speed on Poco's training. Just a hello and good night to you wonderful men who make it possible for the rest of us to live in this beautiful country. You are in our prayers; we want all of you to come back safely.

I pray that God will keep you safe and bring you home to your loved ones, for you are making a sacrifice for me and all of us back home. I also pray that the Lord will bless and comfort your families, for they, too are making a sacrifice for us. Please know that when I am out in the pasture enjoying one of our Kansas sunsets I will think of you and pray that soon you will be back home enjoying one too. God Bless you and take care of yourselves.

Iron Rangers, I Know what your going through except it was 35 years ago in Vietnam for me. Hold on to thoughts of home, your loved ones, and the freedom this country enjoys because of warriors like you. "You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do." Our thoughts are with you...Keep Safe! "

I am a 66 year old man. I completed my national service as an engineer (sapper) in the royal Australian army 1957-1959..Too young for Korea & to old for Nam...myself & thousands more Aussies, American, U.K. (Scotland, Ireland, Welsh, etc) so called, OLD SOLDIERS, WOULD BE ONLY TOO PROUD, to help assist drive convoys,sigs.opps. picket duties,etc...so while we're at home, only allowed to read & watch about IRAQ, our hearts go out to the men &women showing what PEACE IS ALL ABOUT...something worth fighting for...
god bless you all...

God Bless YOU for your risking your lives for our freedom and liberty here in America and world wide. I honor you for the personal sacrifices you are making so we can be safe. I honor your families for the sacrifices they make so you can serve our country! My father served in WW II and I am so proud of you all serving freedom and setting a model of freedom and democracy to the rest of the world. Some of the talk shows are mentioning that only 30% to 50% of the early Americans supported and fought for independence from England. I thought that was pretty amazing. Even in those days under the political and military dominance and over-taxing by the King of England, only 50% of the Colonial people objected and ultimately revolted. Thank God for those few people who stand up to fight for freedom. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND YOU!

You are all in my thoughts and prayers as you sacrifice your time to the efforts of peace in Iraq. It has been a particularly trying time this week as it is the 1st anniversary of our war efforts. Keep in mind that Americans are grateful for all that you do. It is a heavy cross to bear when you know you may have to bring damage to someone or something. In a perfect world, this would not happen. May we continue to show the world our solidarity as a nation and continue to perfect our efforts at maintaining a peaceful world.........Sending hugs and good wishes, Victoria

I know that a simple thank you is not enough to repay you for what you put on the line for me and my family but, please know that it is sincere. You are ELITE not only among Americans but among the whole human race in general. The LORD Himself said, "No greater love is there than this: that a man lay down his life for another."

I love you all. .. I would like to let you know that I believe in you and will forever. You are protecting our freedom, it is the ultimate sacrifice for what you believe in. If this war got big enough, or another world war started I would be out there fighting with you, I may see you soon. All of you are my heroes, even if you think you are not, your biggest fans and sitting next to your picture at home waiting for you to come home. I have a brother out there too, he has been my hero for the longest time, braver than anyone else I know, and probably ever will know. You all have the purest hearts on this earth, and I hope to see you all home soon. I love you guys. Keep your heart where it belongs, at home. Keep Faith, your brothers, and most importantly in yourself. Hope to see you soon.
Love ya forever,

I cannot say enough in support of what Americans are doing to preserve freedom so many thousands of miles from home. To work with a downtrodden, oppressed people such as those in Iraq can only give satisfaction and solace to those who love freedom and liberty. Most of those good American soldiers who are in that devastated country are probably in their 20s and God bless them one and all. They have had something though that the average Iraqi has not had in at least a generation or two-and that is a safe peaceful country. Regardless of Osama or his cuthroat assassins, I am sure the average citizen in Iraq is glad to see the Americans liberate their homeland!
Semper Fi!
