Sometimes a melody and a few pictures speak most eloquently.

This is a very poignant tribute. Well done! Thanks GV. 

A marine who served in Iraq delivered the Democrats radio address:

Marine who served: End war to honor troops
For their weekly radio address, Democrats called on Elliot Anderson of Las Vegas, who spent four years on active duty with the Marine Corps, including a seven-month deployment to Afghanistan.

Anderson said patriotism is an American value, not a Democratic or a Republican one.

“I strongly oppose our involvement in Iraq’s civil war, but I am still proud of my service to my country,” Anderson said.

“But I know I speak for many of my friends overseas when I say that the best way to honor the troops is to responsibly end our involvement in Iraq’s civil war. As long as President Bush stays committed to the same policies that aren’t working, it won’t be easy. But I am proud to see Democrats and now some brave Republicans standing up to him.”
