Michael will be home with in the next three weeks. I am extremely happy! He has been in the Middle East since August. I have missed him so much. Not a day has gone by that I have not thought about him and prayed for his and his fellow soldiers safety. He is the love of my life and I don't know what I would do or be without him. He makes me so proud. He is such a brave, loyal, and wonderful soldier. I am so lucky to call him my fiance. I will be praying for his safe return in January and hope that you all will as well. Thank you so much for all your comments while he has been gone. I personally hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas and has a very Happy New Year. By the way, SPC Churchill is MY HERO!!!

Within the next thirty days I will be home.

As the proverb goes… A journey of a million miles begins with one step.

My journey is near an end.

It has been an unforgettable experience, and if I can take a quote from my namesake… “History will be kind on me, because I intend to write it.”

Though there are some no longer in support of the war in Iraq… I encourage them to see what we are doing first hand; otherwise, accepting the truths that are told to them through the Liberal Media.

I heard a quote from a Marine that recently returned home from Iraq, mentioned after watching some television, “I thought we were winning the war until I saw the news.”

I know that we are making a positive difference in the lives of each and every Iraqi.

Some may call water and electricity all propaganda.

I call it the basic necessity for sustaining human life.

While I am in transit I encourage all the viewers to leave a comment or send me an e-mail expressing your chief concerns about the State of our Nation.

Your comments and messages will help me greatly in the creation of an online survey that I will be putting together upon my return for the constituents of the 25th District of South Carolina’s Senate.

Thank you for all the support and prayers since my departure in August.

Marie, I love you, and I will be home soon.

On Tuesday the South Carolina GOP Chairman, Katon Dawson, called upon the Democrat Governor, Mark Warner, to refute the defeatists comments made by the Democratic Party Chairman, Howard Dean.

The comments made during a radio interview in San Antonio, Texas, Dean accepted and embraced America’s defeat in the war on terror in Iraq.

“The idea that the United States is going to win the war in Iraq is just plain wrong,” Dean said in the interview.

Not in the Press Release from the South Carolina GOP, is probably one of the most embarrassing statements, “I have seen this before in my life – it cost 25,000 brave American soldiers who lost their lives in Vietnam, and I don’t want to go down that road again.”

I realize that he is not a history teacher, but I thought it was 58,000 soldiers that died in Vietnam, or is he presuming that 33,000 of them were not brave.

I am in Iraq right now serving my country, and I am proud to do so, but when I hear the head of the second largest political affiliation in my country bash the war that they voted to put us into: it is just plain poor politics.

The only way Iraq will become the next Vietnam is if the Democrats continue this war against the war on terror.

Please don't let this happen America.

Donate to the GOP.
