Those of us you serve, back home in the safety of the Ohio Valley, are more grateful to you than you can know. It is our hope that our steadfast support for you in uniform can be a small demonstration of how much we appreciate what you are doing and how much we care for you - each and every one of you. · Ali-eady, some of you are in battle. From the decks of ships at sea, aircraft soaring high in the sky, tanks roaring through the desert and, for the infantry, from the surface of the hot sand itself, American ·men and women will move toward the enemy.You will do so not, as in some wars of the past, 'to "make the world safe for democracy" - but simply to make it safe. Better than we at home can know, you understand that there never has been a more powerful fighting force than the·one of which you are a critically important member. In pan because of technology that is simply amazing, you have an edge over ·any foe you may have to confront. But it is you and your comrades in arms who make the United States- Army, Navy, Air- Force; Marioes- and- e oasr--Guard a truly awesome force. No nation on earth is served by better men and women. Not even the most fanatic band of terrorists possesses the crourage and dedication you demonstrate. Whether you are active-duty military personnel or National Guard or Reserve members summoned from civilian life, you are people upon whom we know we can count. That is because, in so.many cases, we know you personally. One of our most ferven.t prayers is that you will know you can count upon us. Our pan in this conflict is so infinitesimal, compared to yours, that it seems presumptuous to even men-T-----ti'ion it. That, however, is precisely why we do so - so that you will know our steadfast support is something you can take for granted. You can. - Again, our gratitude is immeasurable. And our compassion for you is expressed best by the prayer coming today from millions of hearts: · May God bless and keep you as you put yourselve s in harm's way for us. •• • Local Briefs R" h A l ard . ong _ Steaclfast support makes dftference for our troops in Iraq • the Nazarene in Gallipolis. employed by the OwensBY TONY ·M.
