Iraqi/Afghani Remembrance Day

We have remembrance day for our fallen soldiers and heroes that have died for our freedom throughout the years. Was just thinking that the many many people who have died in the last 10 years in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan....are not simply fodder for anti-govt/anti-war b.s. - and they did not die in vain(I hope). In 50 years they will be the ones remembered and seen as heroes...same goes with the other countries in the region fighting against oppressive regimes.

It's horrible to see happening right now without much dampening in violence, but they will be seen as heroic when their kids and grandkids have the ability to speak their minds and believe whatever they want....without worrying about being killed for offending the govt or certain religious circles.


As I said b4 though...it's too bad that wasn't the only reason for our interventions
