Just a suggestion . . .

I recently read a book called American Heroes in the Fight Against Radical Islam by Oliver North, who is a former marine and did a documentary for Fox News called "War Stories." Because so much of what we hear about the things going on in Iraq and Afghanistan is negative, I would highly suggest reading this book. Oliver North actually went there for Fox News nine times and tells of the experiences he had with the soldiers he was "embedded" with. Some things made me laugh (like when he quoted a Marine as saying "The French have always been there when they needed us") and some things made me teary-eyed (like the heroics of the men and women in our armed forces). The best thing about it is that it gives a different perspective than the one we usually hear. So in honor of Nov. 11 being Veterans Day, check it out.
