Poetry for Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom

Back in February, Laura Bush was going to hold a day of poetry in support of the war. Many anti-war groups decided that they would have a day of poetry against the war at the same time. Laura Bush canceled her event. The The Wall Street Journal decided to publish some poems in support of the war. I find them to be thought provoking and some were very funny.

The second one, "In The Name of Freedom" by Elliot McGuken sent chills down my spine. He was able to invoke the thoughts and feelings I have for the brave men and women who serve our country and defend its' freedom. It also verbalized the feelings that I have for the wondrous gift of freedom we have in this country.
