My Mission
Military personnel use the term guardian angel to describe a soldier or Marine placed in a high position during urban warfare to provide overwatch and cover to friendly units operating below.
For too long, the mainstream media has ignored the positive stories coming out of Iraq, Afghanistan and the war on terror. Yes, there have been errors and mistakes, but by and large, United States soldiers, Marines, airmen, Guardsman and sailors are heroes fighting for a noble cause.
And we are winning.
The Guardian Angel Post will seek to tell the stories that the mainstream media ignore. The American people need to know the good news coming from the front lines. They need to understand the ramification of failure in this battle, and they need to know the courage, bravery, compassion and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform.
My goal is to support our military and the cause we fight for through journalistic story telling. This blog is not intended to be propaganda, but neither should the reader view it as an unbiased news source. I will endeavor to report facts accurately, but posts may contain my opinion or editorial content.

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
