Touching

I found this video today while I was reading through blogs. It is entitled, "Dear Mr. Obama". While I FULLY support everyone's RIGHT and PRIVILEGE to vote for the candidate of their choice, I really feel strongly about the message that this young man is portraying. Not that he is voting for John McCain and that he is addressing this to Senator Obama, but his thoughts on freedom.

I can say from experience of sacrifice, that freedom is worth the cost. While I know that many people have different feelings on the war in Iraq and I respect all of them as I believe that the freedom of opinion and speech is why our troops fight (at least I know that's why my husband fights), I PROUDLY support our men and women in uniform who have given up so much to defend this nation I am BLESSED to call home.
