While supporting our military and honoring our veterans, one must reflect on the circumstance that confronts them. Our Congress has not declared war since 1941, delegating that authority to one man.

If we truly support our military, let's ensure that the leaders of the country only use them when absolutely necessary and then provide all support necessary for a successful conclusion.
