PRODUCED BY FAITH-STORIES.COM It may be difficult, maybe even impossible to see any good that can come from war especially if you're the one in the middle of it. But these soldiers say the good is now evident and that all of the destruction hasn't ruined a country or its people. Sergeant Wayne Woodman, Minnesota National Guard said, “There's a reason we were sent over there. We're doing a lot of the stuff we were sent for. We are there to help rebuild so that they can live more freely than they've been able to.” On a personal note Lieutenant Ryan Gore also with the Minnesota National Guard added, “I had this one guy come to me and talking through an interpreter said, 'We were asleep and now our eyes are open. No hard feelings?'” Being a member of the American military is an enormous responsibility and comes with a huge sense of pride. For so many of these soldiers, they enlist willingly and for some it is even a direct calling from God. They serve and protect our freedoms in foreign countries only to return home and see the truth, as they experienced it firsthand distorted by the secular media. “We did have CNN while we were over there on the satellite feed. And I just remember it being big news they were saying, 'Iraq is going terribly. Look what the president has gotten us into.' You know, the usual boiler plate and it gets really tiring hearing that. I would call people or trade e-mail and they would ask, 'How bad is it over there'? And I would tell them it's pretty good and it's gotten so much better,” said Ryan.
