Not just another, “Support the Troops.”

I imagine you get them, too. Powerpoint presentations, slide shows and videos with pictures of our servicemen and women doing their jobs overseas, set to music and dipped in sentiment. They begin to look alike.
You may have seen this one by Lizzie Palmer, 15 years old. Many, many people have viewed it. I think it may have originated on the “Operation Mom” website.
It doesn’t look like all the other videos and is the more remarkable because it was created by one so young. I really think it’s worth a few minutes of your time.
Believe it or not, some are calling this “right wing propaganda.” It looks to me as if it promotes no cause except to honor our troops.
Having recently visited the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor, I am in the frame of mind to honor all who have served.
