Fathers, Sons And Brothers

I am glad to see our National Guard recognized as a force in the war. These men and women have to make just as many sacrafices as our wonderful Soldiers, Marines and Saliors. I am so proud to have them always there ready to defend when called upon. God Bless them each and every one.

As a sixteen year veteran of the Reserve/National Guard, I think this is an excellent presentation. It presents the situation in very clear terms. I am currently active duty and miss my family very much. I was involved in the Invasion of Iraq with the First Marine Division. I was activated for 18 months. Now I have five months to serve with the Air Force. I think that it is a personal decision for each family and member to serve. I will continue to serve for my twenty or more. I think that it is not political but Americans can do their part by cutting back on gasoline use, and praying for the Armed Forces. Gasoline is the primary product of the middle east and we should quite using it. Charlie.

We are the proud parents of a U.S. Army Soldier stationed in Iraq at At Taji.He is deployed with the 1st Air Cav, 1st Calvary Division. It is a great joy to us to have others come up to us and thank us for our sons service to this great country.My heart goes out to the families that have lost loved ones and our thanks to all that stand up in this time of war. MAY GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS AND FAMILIES.

I give thanks to all the brave men and women who have served this country and for whatever purpose they decided to go to Iraq. Bu I as an American citizen can no longer support our efforts in Iraq. The numbers of our men and women dying are climbing and what have we as American's got out of this war but the return of our own soldiers in caskets. Its time to ask this president to step down , its time to bring our soldiers home and end this nightmare. Soon the whole Nation will rise up and just like Vietnam will start protesting and then this president of death and war will have to answer to the people of this country no longer a cngress or senate who so divided over national issues that they cannot see beyond their own personal goals. Its time people to take to the streets and fight back and be heard, end this war now before it ends this country !!

I was somewhat surprised that this CBS show was not a complete hit job on the war, although it had its' moments. I congratulate the NG and the rest of our troops for their devotion to duty. It is time for the rest of the American public to wake up to the fact that we are in this conflict for a long time. The days of the short attention span are over. Wake up to what is going on in the world and suck it up and help instead of creating hinderances.

I'm the PROUD mother of a United States Army Soldier stationed in Mosul Iraq, I'm so PROUD of my son,I PRAY every second for his safe return home, PLEASE GOD KEEP MY SON 'NEMO' AND ALL THE OTHER SOLDIERS SAFE AND WATCH OVER THEM TILL THEY ALL COME HOME. Liz

Im very proud of whole batallion. Very sorrow of their loses. Nisely you were one of the best. I will always remember you. God give us wisdom to finish what started as a lie and have become a nigthmare. SGT V

My son, Specialist Daniel Tootell, is also a member of the Iowa National Guard 1-133rd of Dubuque, Iowa. He is deployed with the 1-133rd in Iraq. Thank you for this realistic coverage of our soldier's lives and sacrifices. My heart goes out to the families of Sgt 1st Class Scott Nicely and Sgt Kampha Sourivong. Our town lost 21-year-old, Stephen Shannon on January 31st 2007. My article on Stephen's death can be read at this link: http://www.fanstory.com/displaystory.jsp?id=138846&userid=161967&tf=0 God bless the soldiers and their families. I agree with the mother who said in your video, "This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life (send my child into harm's way). " Please support the soldiers as they return home.

Exellent story. I only wish I could swap out GLBecker and put him on convoy duty and bring Jim Bodensteiner home. Then Becker would be even happier. Typical conservative coward, being brave with other peoples' lives.

Thank you Evan for hoping this will turn into another Vietnam. As a soldier who has proudly served two tours in the middle east, I am embarassed by the things you say. I look forward to be spat on by you when I return from tour #3. You make me sick
