Don’t forget to thank the troops
Gearing up for election liveblogging tonight, the first thing I want to do is send a shout-out to all our troops fighting overseas to protect our freedoms here at home.
Please join me in thanking them for putting their lives on the line for our country.
God bless them all.

Every night in my prayers I ask God to bless our Armed Forces.
May all their votes be counted!!
My thanks go out to all of you working and fighting to defend our Country.
I also want to thank your families for putting up with your absence.
THANK YOU to all of the armed forces.
God Bless our Troops
Wonderful of you to post this.
God bless them all.
like gippergirl…every night for all of them
…but especially for my son stationed in Japan…and daughter in law and grandson. His brother was discharged from the Navy in March and is home with his family…and in fact is at the polls as we speak.
God Bless you all and thank you from the bottom of my heart.
There are those who ‘organize’ their community, and those who defend it.
I’ve never felt protected by an organizor.
To the men and woman in uniform, thank you for stepping up.
Amen to that! It’s a sorry state that will go through every technical hoop to prevent their absentee ballots to be counted.
Thanks from a Vet
Godspeed and check 6
You said it best. THANK YOU to all the armed forces. We had one of our employees come back this year from Iraq. He was also awarded the Bronze Medal. All of us have thanked him several times over. You don’t know how much he appreciates that for not just himself, but for everyone he was deployed with.
Bravo Zulu men…….
I proudly wore my Veteran flag pin to the polls today.
Thanks to all who are standing watch today.
God Bless.
Not to nit pick BAL, Bronze Star is the proper award, although we all understand the heroism it takes to get one… (if you don’t, he had to kick a$$)
I voted. And for that, I want to send out a big thank you!
God bless the men and women of our military, who keep us safe.
God Bless Them All. Thank you for all you do for our great nation.
Yeah, he did kick butt, as he told us a lot of interesting stories while he was there at our recent company conference. You know, the kind of things you’ll never hear the MSM talk about.
My 3 year old always wants to pray “for the fire trucks.” We take this to mean “all who protect us.” Of course that means our beloved troops. May God bless them and keep them as they protect our country here and abroad.
Also a huge thank you Michelle for everything you do to support the US Military.
Florida’s numbers should be coming soon. We realy need FL
realy=really
No doubt, thank you and rock on ladies and gentleman of the armed forces!!!
Here’s to all of you, and hoping that what you’re fighting for, will still be here when you get back.
Freedom is not free.
Support our armed forces.
Thank you to all of our men and women fighting to preserve our freedom.
Thank you, thank you all you wonderful men and women fighting the good fight for us and the free world.
We love you all.
Thank you and God bless each of you.
To all serving in our military — we don’t thank you nearly enough, even though we think or you and pray for you every night.
To stateside MM readers, please bookmark the following site: http://www.letssaythanks.com as a reminder that a brief but heartfelt note means a lot coming from the folks back home.
My son was in the Worlds Greatest Air Force for six years and just got out this summer. He spend a couple years in Kuwait and was in and out of Baghdad. I met many of his friends and they were always fine young men and women. God bless them all.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you to all troops!!! We owe you everything.
Amen!
I’m waiting for my man in Iraq to call shortly. I’ll pass it along. They really are feeling the apathy over there.
beg pardon, and ladies too……
Coming out of the voting booth today and walking back to my car, I got this overwhelming feeling of pride and the feeling that my vote was going to make a difference. But, just as important, I felt safe. I didn’t have to worry about some suicide bomber or sniper who hated the very fact that I was voting. Who hates the very fact that we have a democracy. I have that freedom because alot of people have given their lives for it and noone can take it away.
Thank God, and thank our military!
I hope people know that the enlistment, re-enlistment and officer retention rates are going to drop under Obama.
It won’t be for lack of patriotism, but who would want to serve under Obama?
You know to keep that “World Idol” claim, he will turn our servicepeople over to the world court in a heatbeat, underarm them, and place ROE on them that would cause any warrior to get killed or arrested.
That and you can rest assured that there will be gays entering, with their “married” spouses adding nothing to the military other than health care expenses.
Did I mention insane enviromental restrictions and being under the command of UN types?
God help us.
Thanks Michelle for remembering our troops.
I want to thank all of our troops including my three sons, niece and nephew. What we do here today is being protected and insured by all who serve in uniform. God Bless and be safe!
YES! Give ‘em hell guys and gals! And THANK YOU! Ooo-RAH!
Thanks for picking up and carrying the torch!
Yes, I do thank the troops for all that they’ve done in service to their country.
Please understand the gratitude many of us have, despite the big middle finger so much of the country seems to be giving veterans and patriots tonight.
My most sincere thanks to those who have served and are still serving.

Concerning how BO feels about the military, I wonder if he was for Germany and Japan during World War II. I would be be a bit surprized if he was for the Axis powers.
Thank you to my brave son Military police officer and all the brave men and women.I pray your votes count.
The LORD bless you and keep you:
The LORD make his face to shine upon you,
and be gracious to you:
The LORD lift up his countenance upon you,
and give you peace.

Thank you, and I am sorry we let you down.
Please store up enough ammo and supplies to be able to bug out come 21JAN09. I fear that Obama will abandon you as a “necessary loss”.
Love you all and God bless you and your loved ones. My son is there now and my daughter will be there next year. You are all in my heart. May God bless you and protect you and give you peace and comfort always. xoxoxo
My Prayers are with them always. And with our Country in this time of trial. Now is the time we must buck up and trust in God.
I’d like to thank all military servicemen from the bottom of my heart. I want to also tell them I’m sorry we couldn’t get the job done for you.
Yes, to all of you guys and gals in all of the Armed Forces, Thank YOU, and all of those who served before you in countless generations past. You have preserved our many freedoms. God has promised us all that He would never leave us nor forsake us. No matter what we see or don’t see…
A big thanks to all of you serving right now… stay safe!
To the best armed force in the world…remember, you guys defend the Constitution. The oath is to the Constitution first.
Our lives and freedom are protected solely because of the strong and courageous defense provided by our men and women in uniform. I give them my heartfelt thanks.
In stark, ugly contrast, our lives and freedom will not be protected by glib jibberish from a 47-year-old adolescent who talked his way into the Presidency. Ruthless dictators don’t have the “American Idol” mentality, and they won’t be persuaded like the electorate.
Support the Troops.
ENLIST!
What exactly are you thanking the troops for? What exactly was threatening to American freedoms in Iraq? Honestly, it just seems so superficial whenever you post this stuff. Of course, we should be respectful of those in the military, but harping on about how they are protecting our freedoms which were NEVER at risk in Iraq is insulting and absurd.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! God bless you all, stay safe, godspeed.
Oh, and GTH Omu. Go be an a$$ somewhere else. This thread is to show appreciation for those who are far better than you. Get lost.
Thank you and God bless you all…
May your votes make a real difference here at home…
Highest honor and kudos to our troops! May the blood and sweat they shed not be in vain just to appease public moods of a war’s “popularity.” I fear though, that our military’s regard to the young will be severely warped by the climate this new administration will set in. Already in junior highs here in Queens, kids are taught more of how (rightfully) noble our military was at helping tsunami and earthquake victims, but zit about the change of attitudes towards Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Thank you Single Issue Conservative Voters for whittling down the Repub primaries to a weak nominee with no fire in his belly to really win! Gentlemen losers DON’T impress me!
Hold on to your wallets and values, America — at least the part that had sense!

From a newly retired serviceman to my brothers and sisters that are in uniform…Thank you for your service to our country and the pleasure of serving with you. God Bless you and keep you safe, no matter where you are.
Oh yeah, I’m feeling the love from the American people. Electing Obama and re-electing Murtha, Kerry, Harkin, and Durbin make me feel very loved as a Soldier…
Tonight America just spit in the face of all her veterans. Tonight America died.
THE MOST PETTY COMMENT EVER!!!
What would you even know about it, you little worm? It’s more important to talk outta both sides of your mouth and mouth platitudes than have any actual pride in what our military has done.
What have you sacrificed? What have you accomplished? My sister-in-law’s fiance just got back from Iraq and felt proud of how he’s helped the Iraqis. I also have had friends deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan who’ve felt the same thing only to be condescended to by the likes of people like you.
You don’t know the meaning of the word respect. If you don’t know how to show it and can only make a petty remark, what the hell are you doing here?
Why don’t you STFU and slap yourself silly because your messiah won already?
You won’t get any argument from me.

God Bless our Troops and bring peace and calm to their hearts.

You missed the point because you obviously overlooked this in Omu’s post, “Of course, we should be respectful of those in the military…”
I understand emotion, but reason (and reading comprehension) does not escape me. How about answering Omu’s second question? Was Saddam going to come here and take way our guns? Close our churches? Shut down our newspapers? Prevent us from peaceably gathering? Exactly which of our RIGHTS were threatened by Saddam?
Yes, thank you all. You do what most don’t so that all can live in freedom.
Thank you.

not that i would expect you to know this, but we have american men and women fighting in afghanistan too. as well as those stationed around the world who, while they may not be actively engaged in combat operations (thank God) are acting as a deterrent. this is also a sacrifice for which we should show gratitude.

apparently reading comprehension does escape you. michelle did not specifically cite our troops “in iraq”. she sent “a shout-out to all our troops fighting overseas to protect our freedoms here at home.” as i pointed out above, there’s more overseas than just iraq, kids. class dismissed.
