While you are out there praying on the mat, please say a little prayer for our soldiers, sailors, marines and air force personnel who are fighting for their lives overseas. They are the ones who are ensuring that we can openly discuss our differences at home.

Regardless of your religious preference, if you live here in the United States, you should appreciate the sacrifices that these men and women give to protect our rights. Whatever your religion, these all volunteer military personnel are the ones that are walking in the valley of the shadow of death.
