From our service men & woman:

The following is an excerpt from a letter by the commanding officer of the 264th Engineer Group based out of Chippewa Falls, WI - read it all, tell your friends, say a prayer, and thank ALL our troops who put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms. October 12, 2004:

"Although I understand that every thing is fair game during such an important event in our democratic society, I am disheartened at how our efforts here have taken on such a negative tone in our media. I only wish that the candidates could realize that your sons, daughters and spouses are here serving our country and together we are sacrificing a year of our lives so freedom can flourish here and America can be safer from terrorists. This concept seems to be lost in all of the rhetoric about how we have no focus or plan and that we in large part should not be here. This constant questioning and negativism from our media plays on our psychics as well as on yours I would bet"
