Of course you have to support the troops. They're just kids. They're doing for their country what's expected of them. ↗

We need to thank all of our troops, and particularly those for whom we can never express enough gratitude for they have given their lives so that all of us may be free and that our democracy can be a shining light for the rest of the world. ↗
