We Still Believe In Your Mission

Well, here it is. July 3, 2007. 231 years ago tomorrow our country adopted the Declaration of of Independence declaring our independence from Great Britain.

It wasn't easy, and it wasn't a smooth process. People died in the battles to gain that independence.

Today people around the world want freedom just as we did, but they face much more dire circumstances.

Here in the US though, most of you are more concerned about Paris Hilton's homecoming from prison than about our men and women helping secure freedom for those people. Not to mention their freedom means more security for us.

At one time a majority of you did care (at least you said you did,) but because it wasn't resolved in a microwave minute you lost interest.

I still care, and our military still cares. Why don't you?

I hope the people in this slideshow still care. I bet they do.

Thanks to Lynyrd Skynyrd for the awesome music. Sorry it's so choppy. Looks great in raw format, but my YouTube skills must be too green still.
