This is to all the soldiers and citizens putting their lives on the line every day all over the world. For all the men and women fighting on the front lines and all those supporting them in the rear echelon, for all those who man the bases to support the war effort all around the world, I want you to always remember one thing.

We are with you.

As Democratic candidates for President talk about what a mistake the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have been, as they bicker amongst themselves about who can pull you out of the war zone fastest while giving the least thought to how they could support your mission and help you ensure victory, remember this.

We are with you.

As Marxist radicals and anti-war Leftists plot to undermine the war effort by blocking shipments in Washington and march on D.C. to demand that you be pulled from your duty, and who picket your wounded comrades outside the very hospitals where they convalesce and try to heal, pay them no mind.

We are with you.

The great heart of America, the majority of its citizens love our armed forces. We love you because you are our sons and daughters. You are our brothers and sisters. You are our family. You are our dearest friends and we support you all the way. We know you are winners and we know that given the time and the right strategy, you will pull off a victory every time.

We are with you.

We will defend you when your character is besmirched, We will clap and cheer for you when you get off the plane and finally come home. We will send you care packages to remind you of hearth and home and that you will always be welcome at our door. We will send you Shields of Strength to remind you that God watches over you as he does all his children.

We are with you.

We will defend you against the chattering classes of pundits who attack you because it scores political points. We will stave off the wicked minority of protestors who hate you and persecute you. We will tell the nations who would see you put in harm's way that we will see them in Hell before we let them accomplish their goals. We will be there when you need us.

We are with you.

You fight for our freedom and for our right to exist as a nation. You fight to keep us safe from a dangerous world that would readily see us destroyed. You are our defense, so please remember that we are just as strongly yours.

We are with you.

In the dark of night, or the heat of battle or the long trip back to your home, when you feel the most cut off, the most alone in the world, when idiots spit at you, foreign nations revile you, and pacifists who would see us dead before they would see us free curse your existence, remember you are never alone. We, the great majority of Americans, will always be by your side and will always stand with you. We stand with you as we all stand for our nation. To diminish you is to diminish us all and that cannot be tolerated.

We are with you.

To all the fighting men and women out there who put their lives on the line every day for us, know that we will readily do the same for you, our fellow countrymen and bravest souls. Never forget.

WE ARE WITH YOU.
