We are going to be in Iraq for many years to come else our US Representatives would/could cut off funding back in 2007 and even now. Those defending our freedom need to be honored. For unlike Vietnam, the terrorist we fight now will and have come to our country and attack out citizens- it is their goal/promise. SSG Murphy was doing his duty to stop them and keep us safe!

Lest we forget on this Veterans Day, those who went before us. I offer my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to those who fought and continue to fight for the good of others. God bless our brave men and women, past, present and future.

Let us never forget this solider for his sacrafice for our freedom, and the freedom of others. He fought for us, and for the right of some of you Sally's to sit behind your computers only to complain about situations that are obviously way above your level of thinking.
Thank you Devil Dog, Semper Fi brother!!!
For that matter, thank you to all the vets, especially those of the nam era, I'm sorry you never got the home coming you so well deserved!!!

My SHARP hand-salute to you S/Sgt Stephen L. Murphy! Marines do not die until they are forgotten; you will live forever.

Semper Fi, Staff Sgt Murphy. As a poster before me said, troops are dying and Generals have asked for more troops. They've been met with silence by a failed "President" while more troops die. Now we have muslim terrorists here at home shooting our troops as well and what do we get from our "President?" We get obstructionism of an investigation while the state run media white washes the fact that this was a terrorist attack and demonizes anyone who disagrees with them. We can't survive as a nation this way. This paints a picture to me that the "President" cares more about the Fort Hood muslim terrorist than he does about the troops that terrorist murdered or the men dying oversees. I'm sure the left wing moonbats will again disagree, but they live in a magical world of make-believe.

Thanks to SSG Murphy, USMC for his sacrifice. We remain in awe of our brave young men and women who continue to go in harms way to fight an enemy that declared war on us a long time ago. Such courage continues in spite of the selfish political hacks and sheep who live in this great country and fail to recognize either the threat against us or the courage of those who attempt to eliminate it.

As SSG Murphy's remains come home, would it be possible for all of us to post positive comments in thanks on this Veteran's Day and leave your political garbage out until after his burial?

Is that asking too much?

What a waste of our Military and National Treasure in Irag...I hope the former President George W. Bush can finally see what a mess he made.......
- Fred, Bristol

Our men and women are dying in the line of duty because a general asked for more troops and our so-called President is taking his sweet time deciding.

The more manning we have over there, the quicker this will end.

Just leaving is no longer an option. The terrorists will not just leave us alone if we leave them alone. So quickly we forget about 9/11.

Heartfelt prayers of comfort to the family, loved ones, and comrades of Staff Sgt. Murphy. Thank you to all of our military for selfless service to this country and to the future of our children.

We're fighting to keep the radical militant terrorists pinned down in the middle east instead of over here.
- Jack Alex, Manchester

It is sad that people are still dying overseas. Neither war is of necessity, just like Vietnam wasn't (a war I was in). The Bush's made the policies concerning pictures of caskets as they wanted to hide the damage. Obama changed the policy. During World War II we put military flag-draped caskets in ads in "Life" to sell war bonds!
- Dan Wayment, Manchester

How very sad. These pictures really hit home. I thought we werent supposed to see flag drapped coffins? What happened?

I am tired of seeing and attending funerals for our men and women killed in the line of duty.
It is time to bring our troops home so that we are not in another Viet Nam.
I guess the song that we used in the '70s is still true today..1,2,3, what are we fighting for..
Honor the troops by bringing them home!
