Show It's All About Freedom! This is hard for me to write but it has to be said. For several weeks I have trying try-ing to put into words what I am , feeling about what Tori Woodard said in her letter. I am glad we live in a free country where we have the right to our own opinions and Tori has hers. I also have that right. Tori, talks about us sending our husbands, hus-bands, brothers, sons, and friends over to fight for oil. But I know from being married to one of them that is not true. I have talked to and asked several of those men and women what they are fighting for and the answer is always the same: "Freedom" , freedom for us and for the Iraqi people. Before my husband left, our grandkids asked why he had to go and his answer to them was to keep them safe and free. Free to play, watch TV and to visit their grandparents when they wanted to without someone telling them that they can or they can't. He also told this to one special boy who lives in Vernal. I want to tell everyone how proud I am of our men and women in the Armed Forces. I am really proud of the 1457th and the 222nd. They are really special people and so are their families. So next time someone asks why are we at war. Tell them they are there to make sure that we have the "Freedom" to say what we want, go where we want and to be who we want. In plain language, "It's All About Freedom!" Tina Riggs Panguitch |
