I am not getting paid to do this website nor am I a reporter. I do the best I can with the time and resources I have available. How I am supposed to know when someone comes or goes to war? I would appreciate a little bit more help from those of you out there who have information and expect me to dig out. I did not intend this to be a one man show but it has turned out that way because people expect me to gather all the news. People bring in news to the Woodford Journal. Why not to this website? I requested on this website 2 years for people to send me information on those in the military and did not get one response.

A Vet wrote on 11/11/2007 at 17:31:27Whether the general public agrees with this war or not, everyone needs to understand that either way, we have our troops over in a place they don't want to be and they are the ones who need our unwavering support. Its not for the politicians sake. Its for the troops deployed.If you run across a soldier in uniform take the time to shake their hand and thank them for serving their country. This small gesture can go a long way.
And everyone needs to remember that " FREEDOM IS NOT FREE " it comes with a cost.
