Serviceman expresses thanks for the support

To the editor:

This is a word of thanks from an American serviceman. First off, I would like to thank all my friends and family who have given me support during this conflict in Iraq. I would like to thank all the Americans who have shown support for the servicemen and women over here and those supporting the war and humanitarian effort. My Marines thank you also.

And I would also like to say "Your welcome" to all those who opposed this conflict and voiced their opinions. There are a lot of countries that do not allow people that freedom. We have just removed a dictator from one of those countries. We are proud to put our lives on the line to guarantee that protesters will always have that right.
