TWO LOCAL TROOPS RETURN HOME FROM IRAQ

It's Memorial Day weekend again, time we should spend reflecting on what a different country this might be were it not for the men and women who gave their lives in freedom's defense.

So whether your driving to Auntie Helen's house for a family reunion or lounging with the kids watching the tube, take time out to reflect and give thanks for those who sacrificed it all for you to have the right to shove Auntie Helen's horrible "fruit salad" in your face or watch that Sponge Bob tape you can recite from memory.

Troops made it all possible.

Fortunately these two local troops made it home.

To clarify, my military background leads me to label all military members as troops, it's just a Cavalry term, I give thanks to all of the military guys and gals AND CIVILIANS who lost their lives in the battle for freedom the world over.
