Iraq Liberation Day

Sunday, April 9th,  is the three year anniversary of the day Saddam Hussein fled Baghdad and his atatue was toppled. It was a great day for Iraq and a great day for America.

We must not forget that we have achieved our objective in Iraq. We have liberated Iraq and removed a brutal dictator from a state that sponsored terrorism. Play it again Sam, One mo' time!

 

Iraq is but one front in the long, terrible eradication of Islamofascism.

Over at LGF there is a message from a Gold Star father;

My son LCPL Justin M. Ellsworth was killed on November 13, 2004 outside of Fallujah. He died believing in the mission on the War on Terror and the positive things that were happening in Iraq. Read more here.

In September of 2004, Justin had just arrived in Iraq when I asked him his opinion of the war. He said, “Dad, we have to be here, they want us here and we are making a difference in the lives of these people.”

So I must ask, if LCPL Justin Ellsworth U.S.M.C. can see the difference that the Coalition troops are making in the lives of Iraqis, why can’t we?

I have made it my goal to get the positive news in Iraq out to the media for Justin and the countless number of people who stand along side of him, and have joined with an organization to do just that. Learn more here.

So I’m asking you to send a message to the media.

Please go to this website: www.FamiliesUnitedMission.com/letter. Sign the letter, and forward it to your friends.

I hope you will join me in encouraging the national media to recognize that Iraqi Liberation Day is on April 9th. Don’t Ignore this Milestone!

Sincerely,

John Ellsworth
Gold Star Father
Wixom, Michigan

American GI: "Knock, knock."
Saddam: "Who's there?"
"The 4th Infantry Division"
"The 4th Infantry Division who?"
"The 4th Infantry Division from Fort Hood, Texas direct to Tikrit, Iraq -- comin' to get cha -- that's who!"

What a great picture followed by that moving story from a Gold Star family! God bless him and all those who have lost loved ones. We have NOT forgotten them or their mission!

All of these photographs above show a few of the many signs that the Iraqi people are grateful for the freedom they have received and that our troops are dedicated to their mission. After reading the article in the Washington Times (http://washingtontimes.com/national/20060403-122152-1985r.htm) it is obvious that people across the country are frustrated with the one sided story that we are getting from the media. I commend Families United for Our Troops and the strong and brave families who support the organization. Please read the article from the link above. It is true that we must get the word out by a different vehicle than the "free press". Use your voice and your keypad and lets make sure that our troops and our citizens know the truth.
