The war in Iraq has been declared at end, but the dying keeps going on.
Where will it ever end?
This month, we celebrate our Independance on the 4th of July.
Some Iraq are just tasting freedom for the first time.
Others are trying to derail freedom, to continue a government based on religion.
That religion doesn't allow for any others.
Women are subject to punishment if caught talking to another male, if he isn't husband or kin.
They were under a some form of government of religion for over a thousand some years.
It will take sometime for the ideas of freedom to sink in.
We pray for all our service people caught in harms way.

" Duty is the most sublime word in the English language.
"Excellence doesn't just happen.
"To control the past,
"They were the best you had, America,
and you turned your back on them". ~ Joe Galloway ~ Speaking about Vietnam Veterans HONOUR THY SERGEANT AND THY CORPORAL:
You can take the man or woman out of the Corps,
You can never do more,
you should never wish to do less."
~ Robert E. Lee writing to his son ~
It must be forged, tested and used.
It must be passed down.
And woven into the very fabric of our souls.
Until it becomes our nature."
~ General Charles C. Krulak ~
31st Commandment of the Marine Corps
Is to give meaning to the present,
And direction to the future."
THAT THY DAYS MANY BE LONG UPON THE CORPS
But you can't take the Corps out of the man or woman!
