Comedian Stephen Colbert is an American Patriot!
Comedy Central Insider has reported that Stephen Colbert has arrived safely in Iraq and starting this Monday, June 8 through Thursday, June 11, “The Colbert Report” will be broadcasting from a military base there. There has been a lot of led up to this very special trip for some months and now it will happen.
The Associated Press is reporting:
“The series of shows, each to be taped in front of an audience of about 450 troops, have been dubbed “Operation Iraqi Stephen: Going Commando.” It’s the first time anyone has broadcast from Iraq for a USO tour.”
I salute Mr. Colbert, because of the reason that he gave for wanting to do this. According to the same new source: “Sometimes my character and I agree, … My character and I both know the Apostles’ Creed and my character and I both think it’s a shame that we’re not talking about the troops anymore.”“
That is correct! It is a shame that the troops have been pushed to the back burner. You can watch the news for hours now and never hear or see mention of them, but everywhere you turn “Jon and Kate Plus Eight” are top news items of the day. That truly is a shame to our news operations and even our country at large.
Everyday, our troops wake to defend our security while never having any real security for themselves. They protect our families while they are separated from theirs by miles and even continents. They work tirelessly without very little gratitude. Our troops are the best of the best and America is indebted to their service.
Today is the anniversary of D-Day. Over 9,500 soldiers gave their lives in one of the greatest battles that our nation has fought. This invasion of the beaches of Normandy was a turning point in World War II. They took down the powerful hold of Hitler and delivered the country of France, freedom. Also, producing the final stage of this War. There is no way that in this short place can one truly give this invasion its honor. But you can honor it through research, remembrance and resolve.
