Have We Forgotten
Everything on this web page are my own views and opinions..
This site is a work in progress and will take some time to complete, but I will
always be adding new stuff, so please come back often and check up on the
progress and sign my guest book.
This web page is dedicated to all men and women of the United States Military
in support of Operation Enduring Freedom OEF and Operation Iraqi Freedom
OIF. Most of all to the ones who paid the ultimate sacrifice for freedom the
true Heroes who will never be forgotten.
I remember after September 11th, 2001 we all stood together as one nation,
American flags on houses, the side of office buildings and yellow ribbons on
every house and tree. The news was always showing what was going on
around the United States. Now you hardly see any flags or ribbons, the news
only shows you a small part of what is really going on in Iraq, and we don’t
stand together any more.

To my shame I have to read in the paper or see it on TV that there is actually
a group of people from the Westboro Baptist Church lead by Pastor Fred
Phelps who go to funerals protesting, holding signs up that read “Thank God
for IED’s”, “God hates your tears”, and "God Blew Up the Troops”. Pastor
Fred Phelps need only think of what he's done, and he cracks a smile. Did
they forget it that it is the soldier that gave them the right to protest; and on
top of it all the people who sent us to fight for peoples right to freedom do
nothing to help protect the soldier who gave the ultimate sacrifice for freedom.


Do you know what really goes on over there in Iraq? You keep hearing that
the total of soldiers’ deaths keeps going up, but do you know how? Of course
you don’t because the media decided that you don’t need to know because it
would ruin the big story of the day, week, or month. Does anyone who isn’t in
the government really know what’s going on?
No you don’t. Well I tell you
this, everyday a soldier either gets hurt or dies, but you don’t hear about
that. All you hear about is the latest car bomb or small firefight. You don’t
hear about all the IED’s and VBIED’s that go off and wound or kill soldiers
unless someone from the media is involved. You know when Woodruff, Vogt,
and Dozier got injured, how it happened, and what they all went through. But
you never hear in the background that there was a soldier or soldiers that
also got hurt with them. Do you see there face in every news paper or hear
about them on the news stations? Why not? Do we as soldiers not matter any
more? We’re here because we took an oath to server our country with pride
and follow the orders given by the President of the United States of America.
