Thank you for your warm words, Secretary Peters. Hopefully they remind people to remember and pray for our country's true heroes, the men and women on the battlefield.

This is a fabulous display i am really proud to be american and i think everyone should Saluting Our Veterans its america and we are all living here and living off the great freedom we have.

Thank you for remembering the veterans.

It is simply a tragedy when you here about one of our own being falsely accused. Michael Behenna is an American soldier who was convicted and sentenced to 25 years in the death of an Al Qaeda terrorist in self-defense, February 2009. After reading the full story I was truly appalled. My heart stopped and I felt that if I did not do my part to show support and get his story out, then I was no different than the ones that convicted him. The terrible part about this is that, it was only after the trial that defense lawyers learned that the government's own forensic expert agreed with the soldier’s testimony that it was self-defense. Please read Michael’s story at Vet2Vetspace.com. It is a free site. So please spread the word. We have to take care of our own if we don’t look out for those that keep us safe why should they do the same for us. Please forward to get the word out. Thank you.
