God Bless You. God Bless America.
Thank you for your service and sacrifice for our country. At least you had the courage to serve our country and its citizens, rather than sit from the sidelines and criticize. May the Lord bless you and your family.
If killing people in both sides is good, please dont talk about God, because he didnt approve this war.
Peole are killing each other because of their God and Patriotism, please give me a break!!! killing is not good and havent been!!!
There is a lot of good citizens in the other country too that are crying for their families!!!
WHEN WAR WAS SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD FOR HUMANKIND!!!
NEVER!!!
Bring them home!!!
MILLION OF DOLLARS IN WAR
OUR KIDS DYING BECAUSE OF THIS NONSENSE WAR!
BRING THEM HOME!!!!
If my son went to war, I would be very well aware of the possibility that I wouldn't see him again, or that he would come back injured for life.
You have the comfort of making smug assumptions because there are those who are willing to sacrifice all to ensure that you do.
In war people die and people get injured for life, lives, limbs, eyes and hearing are lost.
This is why, if we are going to go to war, we need to be very careful that the war is absolutely necessary, because the cost of war is always so high.
*Thomas H. Cruikshank, who served as chairman and CEO from 1989 until 1995, was replaced by Dick Cheney.
*In 1998 Halliburton merged with Dresser Industries, which included Kellogg. Prescott Bush was a director of Dresser Industries, which is now part of Halliburton. Former United States president George H. W. Bush worked for Dresser Industries in several positions from 1948�1951, before he founded Zapata Corporation.
*Halliburton is the only company mentioned by Osama bin Laden in an April 2004 tape in which he claims that "this is a war [in Iraq] that is benefiting major companies with billions of dollars.
THIS WAR IS ABOUT POWER AND MONEY...and the history goes on...
Thank you for raising a son who was willing to serve his country in spite of knowing the dangers that intails.
We are thankful for the many men and women willing to make the sacrifices it takes to keep our country safe and help those that don't have the freedoms that we so often take for granted.
May you take some comfort in knowing that othes care and keep your family in our prayers.
God Bless you
It completely drives me crazy to read coments from people who point out all of the negative things associated with the war. Yes the war has cost a lot of money, and lives have been lost.
How do we forget what happened 7 years ago when we were being attacked on our own soil? No the Taliban isn't in Iraq, but the terrorists were getting funding from Sadam. We liberated a country from a dictator who raped, and killed thousands of his own people. And the surge that President Bush implemented has worked and dramatically reduced violence in Iraq. Making it possible so that we can eventually leave Iraq and they can govern themselves.
Be thankfull that you live in a country where we live in freedom because of the brave. All of this venom about the bad things doesn't get us anywhere.
Have the decency to just offer condolences - and save the other rhetoric for another day or a purely political article.
I would assume that no-one would want to pour on any more hurt on these people.
I am a patriotic, flag-waving Democrat!
I oppose the Iraqi fiasco, and approve of the Afaganastan theater and hope for when our military is allowed to go where they are most needed and justified to get the REAL job done of fighting terrorism on it's own turf!
I've had 4 sons serve in the military since 1998 (3 Navy, 1 Marine) and are proud of them, all who they have served with, all branches of the military, and their work of simply being honorable 'soldiers!'
Even though Pvt. Thibeault died of non-combatant causes, he died in the service of his and my country, and so he died with honor no matter how you cut it and deserves all the respect that can be mustered for him and his family.
All that said, I'm still a Democrat that's big on patriotism, national defense, fiscal responsibility, and unlike the Bush/Republicans of Congress, all am big on making sure that returning Vets are taken care of (which incidentally took the Democratic sweep of 2006 to have congress pass the laws that gave our Vets back their dignity and needed assistance they deserve).
Patriotism is also about caring&looking afterOurOwn.
We started in 9/11, then the Taliban, then Saddam, then Afghanistan, then Iran, then would be Russia, you dont get it?
OUR SOLDIERS ARE DYING FOR BUSINESS... that's my pain, our brave soldiers are dying because of this!!! They are here to serve this country NOT dirty politicians.
We need to bring those troops home!!! we are more secure having the troops here than overseas!!!
I love to see those soldiers HERE AT HOME.
We never going to stop writing about our losses If we never stop fighting others.
Every country have learned to have their freedom by their own, Irak needs to learn that from themselves, not from others.(following an example, truth, but not by somebody else).
Our Soldiers are brave, but is enough!!! bring them home
To: To War Vet @ 9:00 am.
No need to be disrespectful to any war vet. You assumed this was a grandpa - but I think you probably know that he/she could be anywhere from 18 to 100 years old, because there have been several wars or conflicts since World War I. Also, no-where did he/she comment on whether or not God was on one side or the other!
I, for one, just wish to offer my sincere condolences to the family and friends of this young man.
