The American soldier, sailor, airman, and marine are truly people of honor and compassion.  They do their duty day in and day out despite all the attacks and slants from those on the left.  The picture below commands your attention.

Niles Latham of the NY Post has an article featuring this picture.  Here is an excerpt (HT: Michelle Malkin):

May 4, 2005 -- This dramatic picture captures the awful human toll caused by latest upsurge of terrorist violence in Iraq — and the American effort to help.

This was the horrifying aftermath of a terrorist bombing attack on a U.S. military patrol in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul — but the victim, this time, was a little innocent child.

Taken on Monday by an Army photographer, the moving photo shows a gallant U.S. soldier, clearly distraught, cradling the dying child in his arms.

Pardon My English has a great tribute that should inspire every service man and woman.   

I simply do not understand how the MSM/DNC can continue to cheer for our enemies when they cause young children to die.  It makes me sick. 

However, I am very proud of our young men and women who are sacrificing every day to guarantee not only our freedom, but the freedom of the Iraqi people who lived under years of totalitarian rule.

God Bless the USA and God Bless our troops.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words...that picture is worth a thousand pictures of "mentally challenged" Lynndie and her ass-hat psuedo boyfriend Graner.

Somehow I doubt this picture is gonna get quite the airtime those got, but I'm not surprised.

The media has been a disaster in covering the war on terrorism over the last three years, and more specifically in Iraq. We should all be thankful that ABC, CBS, NBC, NY Times and LA Times no longer have an ideological monopoly on the news, and some media outlets still report the positive achievements and the gains made. Had this war been fought with the same media environment that existed in 1968, it would've been torpedoed.
