Glen and I live together and we have known each other since we were small, 13 years old. And we just have a relationship like we're blood brothers. We battle for each other and we call each other soldiers - they never leave a man behind. Glen just told me it was time to go to war. We both understood it was time to fight and when he fights, I fight.

For me to be in a room with those soldiers standing over there -- it's almost like you're there with them, and I think that's unbelievably powerful.

It is good for the public to come and see. I don't think a lot of people realize that there are local soldiers who are deployed in Iraq.

Last night I had fire ants crawling all over me. Physically it's very uncomfortable, but I think of all the soldiers in Iraq who, when it's too hot or too stormy, can't go into town for refuge. As bad as we have it here, it's nothing compared to how bad they have it over there.

It is of deep concern that British soldiers held by the police should end up being held by militia,

I saw this bunch of wild people attacking police, border police and soldiers and I said to myself that this was a criminal act, simply that,

Over There ... the most profound experience for me as an actor ever. This show is so about what these guys are going through and what their families are going through while they're fighting. I can't tell you how many letters I've gotten from military families saying things like, 'At least someone is telling our story.' Some of these soldiers feel a little bit forgotten, and I had one Marine write to say, 'If it takes a TV show to make people a little more aware, then so be it.'

I think this is a good day for democracy in Iraq and am proud of the American soldiers without whom this would not have been possible, but it's not the end of the process. We have a long and difficult road ahead of us and I think we're going to need the kind of leaders that understand the complexities in Iraq to be successful.

MALTHUSIAN, adj. Pertaining to Malthus and his doctrines. Malthus believed in artificially limiting population, but found that it could not be done by talking. One of the most practical exponents of the Malthusian idea was Herod of Judea, though all the famous soldiers have been of the same way of thinking.

The Palestinians do not have a reason to fire rockets into Israel because the last soldiers and the last of the settlers left the Gaza Strip over five months ago, but the terror attempts continue without any break.

When I was 5 years old, we had nothing in the village. One day, in front of my house, some soldiers in a big Cadillac started to do a picnic. I looked at them like they were coming from the moon. I remember they gave me a box of rice pudding - that, for me, was the American Dream.

We are both committed to advancing the culture of T&T. Consider us soldiers for the cause.

We care about the detainees being treated right. We care about soldiers behaving right. We are about command systems working.

Well, it's really important. We wanted to win here tonight, but Kyle got a great restart there. Congratulations to Kyle Busch and that whole Hendrick team. Those guys have been coming on a win for a long time and it's exciting for your first win. It was just a great job by the guys in the pits. We put spring rubbers in and adjusted the heck out of that race car tonight - from tight to loose to just can't drive it.

When you're in the service - you're alone. A lot of times soldiers will find out about their wives leaving them when they're overseas. Information spreads faster these days with the Internet.

Valor never dies as long as brave souls, willingly give their lives for our freedom. Some may take this sacrifice for granted, while parents of these soldiers pray for the safety of their children.

The conflict continues to drag on taking the lives of our soldiers and innocent Iraqis. It is clear that George Bush does not intend to change course in an effort to right this great wrong. He has had enough time in his second term to begin a shift and he has not. It is time to remove him from office.

Those are the same vests our soldiers are being issued.

We are doing this to give back to the community and give these soldiers who gave their lives credit.
