As a patriotic American proud to serve the nation in uniform and place my life on the line in defense of freedom, I respectfully urge my political leaders in Congress to unconditionally support all American military forces and to cease denigrating us by comparing us with Nazis and followers of Pol Pot and calling us murderers. I further respectfully urge my political leaders in Congress not to abandon the Iraqi people as we so shamefully abandoned the South Vietnamese. The time for all Americans to pull together, take a stand for freedom and support us in the war on terror is long overdue.
