I just had to forward this. A veteran myself it almost brought a tear! I remember when Colin Powel made his comment.

You could have heard a pin drop



        When in England , at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by


the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example
of empire building' by George Bush.

        He answered by saying, 'Over the years, the United
States has sent many of its fine young men and women
into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders.
The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return
is enough to bury those that did not return.'
