War In Iraq: Soldier's Tribute

there are still soldier's risking their lives for us in iraq and they shouldn't be forgotten. let's remember them and keep them in our prayers.

Casting Crowns - Praise You In This Storm

I was sure by now,God, that You would have reached down
and wiped our tears away,
stepped in and saved the day.
But once again, I say amen
and it's still raining
as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain,
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away.

Chorus:
And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where I am
and every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to You
and raised me up again
my strength is almost gone how can I carry on
if I can't find You
and as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away

Chorus

I lift my eyes onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
I lift my eyes onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth

Chorus

@badhistory141 Oh, you are from USA. Your country caused more mass murders during last 50 years than any other country (tried people in Vietnam to hurt your families in USA? Or from Korea? Or Iraq? If a group of terrorists from Canada attacked you, would you punish the whole country, or was it only Afghanistan? Not every Afghan is a terrorist) Protection is ONLY when someone is directly attacking and invading your country, bombarding your cities- only then soldiers can be called protectors!

[Raymoiful]

Citizens are the real heroes and the real victims of every war. Its also huge difference between professional soldiers and people who became soldiers in wartime who had to fight for the safety of their family and their country like in Europe during WWII.

When somebody decides to be a professional soldier, he will take the risk of being killed and in the same time, he will become a professional murderer- being a professional soldier is nothing to be proud of, its nothing heroic, its just sad.

@Raymoiful All right. I read your posts, and I still don't understand your use of the term "murderer." Murder implies that the killing is premeditated and that the murderer wanted to kill the victim. I don't believe that our soldiers are murderers. I understand that they kill people, but the people they are killing are trying to kill THEM and other innocent people.

@kehammer100 I dont want to repeat myself, so read my response to badhistory141, its right here, 5 posts ago) and then we can talk :)

@dustinLenn I lived through communism and you know what? It was hard, but nowhere near as evil as US media are picturing it. I admire all people who fought to protect their country and loved ones, but I cant admire someone who made a living from war as professional soldier! About communism, we managed to destroy communism ourselves in a really peaceful way (I guess you never heard about Velvet revolution?) USA has nothing to do with it, dumbass, its you who is mistaken and knows nothing.

[kehammer100]

@Raymoiful That is completely uncalled for. These men and women did not sign up to murder people. They signed up to protect YOUR freedom. They sign up so that YOU wouldn't have to. They are the reason you have the right to speak your mind. Would you be willing to die so that others might be free? They are NOT murderers. They are our brothers and sisters, wives, husbands, fathers and mothers. Why is it so difficult for you to understand the sacrifice they are making for YOU?

Man most the people bein pessimistic wernt there and have never seen war and death up close like some of us vetrans have seen so most people have no right to judge tell you though you see some of this stuff up close it will open your eyes right quick.

[dustinLenn]

our country did what it had to, and what it saw fit. sometimes they have to do a little evil to do alot of good. it sucks, but anybody who'se got a problem with a soldier or is shit talking to a soldier should get the shit kicked out of them. if it werent for those soldiers you all'd be liveing in some communist country with sticks and mud for furnature, you know nothing of what they go through to save your sorry asses, show some respect.

[beansemo]

@Raymoiful Damn you are so right dude. Also too the ones who are mosty in a direct way protecting us are cops, swat, fbi, dea homeland securities, ICE, etc etc,........you know what I mean right? Soldiers just choose to so called "serve their country". GB everyone.

[badhistory141]

@Raymoiful what are you even talking about. soldiers are not joining because they WANT to murder people, they are joining because they want to protect their country and the ones they love. i have no respect for you sir, because you do not have respect for the men and women fighting and dying for your freedom.

[beansemo]

Why don't those that want to serve their country, the big U.S., serve those that actually need help and become missioners of Christ or Pastors, reverends, or other ways that they can serve God that I'll be His will. It will be so awesome, just imagine instead of lots of soldiers dying for people that don't even support the war the soldiers are in, if they were pastors or missioners they would be doing the good will, His will! Anyhow God loves us all some just don't love Him back. Gb our troops.
