E-mails of Thank You's to our Troops

The email address of these fine folks have been removed by me in order to respect their privacy.

Greetings and Salutations!

My name is Edward L. Daley and I am the owner of the Daley Times-Post, an on-line journal for current news and conservative political opinions. A few days back, I decided to add a message board to my humble website for the exclusive purpose of allowing the folks here at home to post words of appreciation for the fine fighting men and women who make up our beloved armed services.
So far, 30 messages have appeared there, and I would like to take a moment now to relay them to you. Feel free to make copies of this letter and share them with your comrades in arms.

Comments: I am a Navy Veteran, 1978 to 1983. My son is now serving with the Air Force. Where to start expressing my feelings, how to put them into words? I feel immense respect, gratitude, and awe for your selfless sacrifice and service. The liberal left, although enjoying the very freedoms you protect for them, fail to understand why you cannot leave until the job is done. They bury their heads in the sand, and think if we just go away, the Islamic terrorists will just calm down and go away, because it's just our occupation of their lands that is what is causing the insurgency and homicide bombings. How soon they forget 9/11, when 3000 innocent people died, by the hands of those who had been planted here, planning these deaths for years. They were the insurgents. I know you all will continue to represent the United States of America with courage and dignity, and show the world that regardless of their opinions, we will never waiver in our belief that every human being, no matter what race, or religious belief has the right to live in freedom, without fear. To quote our Commander In Chief: God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.

Comments: Im not good at these things I can never think of what to say? Except to say that I believe our actions we have taken, namely Iraq and Afganistan were just, Democrats would have done what amounts to nothing, 3000 died in the 9/11 attacks and Democrats would have have taken a legal avenue on this, gone on the air to tell the American people that they are working behind the scenes on apprehending the individuals responsible for this.... and at the most would have launched a few Tomahawk missiles destroying some asprin factories delclareing the perpetrators, terrorist, dead and the matter closed now on with domestic issues like raiseing peoples taxis! Democrats are pretty keen on TomaHawk missiles the only part of the military they seem to like :-) more than likely we would have been attacked again!, but with us right in there backyard im sure they are more concerned with us being in Iraq and Afganistan than attacking us at home. Also id just like to say there`s no way the we canoose! it all depends on what one is willing to do and how much your willing to give, it was the antiwar protestors that lost Vietnam and they want to do the same here. Anyway take care, hope your in good spirits and Merry Christmas Happy New Year.

Comments: It has to be difficult for all of those serving, especially at Thanksgiving and Christmas. It warmed my heart to see a front page picture of our military in Iraq making the best of it during this holiday season. What you are doing is extremely important; please know that you have the gratitude of a grateful nation! God bless each and every one of you, and keep watch over you. Thank you.

Comments: Freedom’s Warriors,
There are no people who enjoy freedom and democracy that was paid for by mere words or kind thoughts about those who would enslave them or rule them by tyranny. It is by the deeds and sacrifices of Freedom’s Warriors that freedom rings in many nations around this globe. Planting the seeds of freedom and democracy is an extremely expensive proposition for a nation's sons, daughters and treasure yet freedom and democracy cannot flourish on kind words and thoughts alone for evil would consume them before they could ripen and bear fruit. It has not been the free and democratic nations that have spawned the forces of terrorism and therefore the mission to promote freedom and democracy in the midst of lands favorable to nourishing terrorism is a mission that serves not only that region but also the defense of those whom terrorism targets. Many who unwittingly or wittingly oppose your mission will in the end benefit from it. We fight and serve for the right of such opposition to disagree openly with that, which makes them free, the missions of freedoms warriors. From the sweet land of liberty, to every mountainside and every city in every land, let freedom ring, surely not everywhere by the sacrifices of Americans, but certainly by the inspiration of Americans who are Freedom’s Warriors.

Comments: Don't know how to thanks all the men and women in the military who are willing to do what it takes to make us safe for the evils of of terrorism. I pray for each and everyone of you daily for your safe return. Please ignore the vile rhethoric from the liberal politicians as they have invested all their political capital in losing the war. Most Americans believe you are winning and love you for your efforts. Your are all heros in my eye. Stay safe.

Comments: I do not know how well you are being kept up to date on what is happening back in the states. There is a growing debate about how soon we can had our troops back home, we want you back as soon as possible. People on both sides of the isle want you home and there is a fight to draft and commit to an exit strategy. Personally I feel we should finish what we committed ourselves too.

Comments: Pay no attention as to what you hear from "the hill".
We love you and are praying for the safe return of each and everyone of you.
Keep the faith and your eyes upon JESUS and HE will keep HIS EYES upon you.
GOD Bless you and may HE bring you all back safely. Never let anyone tell you that we don't appreciate you, that it's a worthless war. You are fighting to keep that scum out of your/my country and to keep all the nations of the world free of people, the likes of which we, here in the states, have never seen nor would want to. Again, GOD Bless you and we love you and thank you for keeping us, over here, safe from them over there. Love to you all IN CHRIST, Nana.

Comments: Back in 1991, just before getting on the plane to return from Saudi, I told my troops that someday our sons and daughters would have to finish the job we started. I wish I was wrong. But you guys and gals have done and continue to do an excellent job. America is proud of you all.I wouldnt trade one of you for all the negative nay sayers and anti american freeks in the media and college campuses. The cowards are not worthy of or capable of walking in your boots. May the Supreme Being watch over you and bring you back home safe and sound. Respect.

Comments: Many thanks to the soldiers sailors and airmen fighting for our freedom and security. Real Americans appreciate your efforts. Your successful liberation of Iraq and Afghanistan from totalitarian rule are shining successes in the War On Terror. More than fifty million people in both countries appreciate your establishment of freedom and liberty and your efforts in rebuilding both shattered nations.

I sincerely hope that these simple words of thanks will help to lift the spirits of every troop who reads them, and I encourage anyone in uniform to reply to the folks who've left these messages, either by posting on the board from which they came, or via e-mail.

Comments: All of you who wear the uniform of one of our nation's military branches, and defend freedom around the world, are my personal heroes. Each one of you has done more for our country than most other Americans, myself included, ever will, and I pray for your safe return home from those far-away fields of battle upon which you now stand. May God watch over you and keep you safe, and may He continue to bless the United States of America.

Yours truly,

Edward L. Daley
