On Veterans Day, we still have thousands of soldiers in Iraq, fighting not just for our freedoms, but for those who are yet to gain them so that we may all live in peace.
Corporal Jeffrey B. Starr, a Marine who was Killed in Action in the last two weeks, left a letter behind to his girlfriend. Here's what it said:
"Obviously if you are reading this then I have died in Iraq. I kind of predicted this, that is why I'm writing this in November. A third time just seemed like I'm pushing my chances. I don't regret going, everybody dies but few get to do it for something as important as freedom. It may seem confusing why we are in Iraq, it's not to me. I'm here helping these people, so that they can live the way we live. Not have to worry about tyrants or vicious dictators. To do what they want with their lives. To me that is why I died. Others have died for my freedom, now this is my mark."
A Thank You to our Veterans: You are our nation's heroes.
