View on the War

I cannot seem to find one person that was not shocked after 9/11. That event not only changed our world around us but it came at us unexpectedly. However, I do not know why we are still in Iraq. After seven years since 9/11 is it helping us to still be over in Iraq fighting? What are we even still fighting for? There might be a very good reason why we are there but I do not look for the answer. It get me upset when I turn on the television and see another death of a soldier has occurred. Someone's life taken away from their family for what? For what reason are these soldiers out there risking their lives for. 

I do not know of anyone that is close to me that is serving in the war. Although, I do feel very close to everyone out there serving and how I am affected. I support the troops out there and what they are doing for us. I think however, that this war should finally be over and the troops should come home and cherish the time they might have left with there families.
