"There are five boxes to use in the defense of Liberty: The Soap Box, the Mail Box, the Ballot Box, the Jury Box, and the Ammunition Box. Please use them in that order."

After completing two tours in Iraq, Sgt. Wayne Leyde won $1 million from a scratch-and-win lotto ticket on Tuesday.

Now that he’s won, Leyde, a 26-year-old member of the Washington National Guard, says he’s still going to volunteer to go back to Iraq for a third tour and won’t spend any of the money in the meantime.

Question: If there’s validity in the statements "we’re losing the war in Iraq", "we’re in a quagmire in Iraq", or "the war’s not worth it", then why is Sergeant Leyde going back? Certainly, he’s not doing it "for college money", as is another common theme. The only explaination is because he believes in the mission, and that he believes what we’re doing is worth his life.

Godspeed and God bless, Sergeant Leyde.
