Eh... I think I'll let this one slide, I'm a sucker for thanking vets for their service.

Why Am I not surprised? You could start by thanking those who served. The families of those who gave all.

This is a day for all to rejoice.
 
Mary Anne, thanks for starting this. I watched the TV programming from Fort Bragg yesterday and it was so emotional, all those young men that gave so much and yet only a few of the total that played a part in getting us to this point. I am hoping this is the end but with so many civilian citizens still there and the strong possibility of them being attacked, it is still a very delicate situation.

For now lets be proud of what they have accomplished.
 
Thank you,Lily. I was so emotional when I watched those young people, knowing they would go home and seeing the pride in their faces.

They will be here to make sure their service was not in vain. I am so proud of this generation who may well become the next greatest Generation.

What a great day for our nation and the people!

I love you MaryAnne but ........that was no War that was an invasion. 'Your boys' had a choice the Iraqis who did suffer and are still suffering and will do until the end of time, suffer for what 'yours' and 'my' boys have done. I see nothing in the destruction of and of order and the making of chaos in Mesopotamia to be happy about.

And where are 'your boys' being moved too ? They are getting ready for the next invasion of the next country to be so lucky as to warrent the attentions of 'us'.
 
Queenie, today is about our boys coming home. We can discuss the ill begotten war another time. Those serving had no choice once they signed up.

I am just happy they will not keep dying. And we can thank Obama for that.

Are you glad it is over however it started? It is ok to be pleased. The subject of war will change when we change and certainly most of the population does not agree with war being the answer or for that matter, whether Iraq was a legal war initially. As society evolves and global connections make war an outdated concept due in part to reciprocal needs that view will widen. But today we can be pleased that one chapter from a very bad time is ending. We can now focus on Chapter Two.

We still give thanks for the military leaving Iraq.

But were are they being moved too ? The next War ?
 
I know where you're coming from, MA. It's sad when the theme gets skewed away from its focus. Unlike Nam, where we left with egg on our faces (no fault of the men who served, either) our guys and gals came home to a warm welcome they deserved. And I recalled the day I came home -- no one to meet me, returning from the war that had been over for a year because I was assigned to duty in the occupation forces. Not everyone comes home a conquering hero. But that really wasn't so important as just being home, just jumping off the Rock Island Rocket and getting a glimpse of the town square I'd left behind a couple of years earlier.

For those who wish to paint our men as the bad guys, "bring 'em on". It's nothing new. It seems we've been there and done that before and the grunts who took it on the chin in combat again take it on the chin for following orders and doing the job they were assigned to do.

Perhaps, if GW hadn't thrown down the gauntlet "Bring 'em on" to begin with the war might not've excalated to the long-winded conflict it became but it was not the troops who had to do battle who made the challenge.That is what to many people forget when, finally, the flowers descend upon the baettle-weary warriors that we were told would greet them in the beginning.

Bless their hearts.
 
We are not really leaving we are going to maintain the biggest embassy in the world with 17 Thousand personnel contractors that are being paid twice as much then the troops.

Gramps,I feel the pride today that I felt when my Dad came home from Germany. Seeing those young people stand proud I know we will over come our problems because they will join those who care.

Nothing the dead heads can say will make me feel bad today. I am glad I am alive to see this,and am sure you are too!

A promise kept.

Obama! Four more years!!
 
I have the joy of thanking some of them personally. They are great Americans and wonderful people. They and their families deserve nothing but praise for their sacrifices during the war.
