Heroes


I wish that I could say that my heroes are something standard, like Batman or Superman.....but I guess in reality my heroes are or rather should be considered Supermen and women. My heroes, my role models, are the ones fighting and dying so that I can sit in a comfortable room, with my laptop, and write on a blog. The women and men that are fighting for our freedoms; dying for them. They are half way across the world, in foreign countries, living without the comforts of their own homes, and major technologies like cell phones and computers. They work all day and most nights, in very hot weather and extremely cold weather; all to protect American and what we stand for.

Some days I ask myself is this war really necessary. And right now I just wish that we could bring all our troops home safe and sound. Even if I dont agree with the wars that we fight, I will forever support our troops, because in reality we are only as free as much as we are willing to fight for it.
