I have often referred to our local newspaper here (the "Louisville Courier-Journal") as, among other things, the "Louisville Communist Journal." They are very blatant about their partisanship and their disdain for President Bush and Conservatives in this community.
So, needless to say that I was shocked when this post was brought to my attention. It was posted in a section called "Mail Call: Letters from the Front Lines."
Allow me to be among the first to commend the Courier-Journal for finally condescending to post a very positive and touching letter from a servicemember who is currently a part of the American effort in Iraq. Most of all, thank you, CPO Cissell, for writing about your experience. It is a humbling reminder to us all that, even when we Americans might disagree on the intent behind our battle in Iraq, oppression is a child's worst enemy and freedom is his best friend.
Our servicemembers embody that freedom and this child recognizes it when he sees it. Well done, Chief Cissell! You make this American very proud.
