Vererans Supporting our Troops

I retrieved this from my local news paper The Selma News in Selma North Carolina.

“Three retired Veterans who signed up to do a 1-year tour of duty in Iraq have returned with a new mission, "Resolve to Win". MAJ Dennis McCool, along with retired soldiers, LTC Marc Breslow and MAJ Carl Heerup, are marching from South Carolina to Washington DC.
The veterans say the reason is to support the troops and their mission by demonstrating resolve to do a difficult task. "Resolve to Win" hopes to create a dialogue about our National will to win. They firmly believe that you can not support the troops without supporting the mission.”

What I ask is this:
Where is the national news on this one? Why is this first time I have heard about this? Whenever we see a protest against the war it makes national news but when people are trying to support the troop’s the national news media runs and hides. Oh sorry I forgot if it helps the war effort and George Bush it’s bad but if it hurts the war effort and George Bush its good. For some reason that just don’t sound right, you would think that supporting our troops should be number one regardless of where you stand. I did not agree with us going into Iraq, but we are there and we need to finish it. Other wise those brave young men and women that lost their lives would have died in vain. But, then I did serve for over 20 years in our military defending this great country of ours. So maybe I just look at things a little differently.
God Bless them.
God Bless our Troops
God Bless America
God Bless George Bush
