Another type of "Temporary Guest Worker"

I'm sure Walt Gaya is not in the same immigration status for which the phrase "temporary guest worker" was coined. But this story from Michael Yon brings awareness to non-US citizens fighting for freedom in the United States Military. Tell me there aren't other stories out there besides "Car bomb kills...". This story bring us two pieces of information. 1) Brave man and women, who do not yet have their US citizenship, are sacrificing their lives along with their comrades so that we may live the American Dream. And 2) There is an audience out there for good stories. Unfortunately the road to this audience goes through the gauntlet of the liberal mainstream media. Michael tells us that, when the Associated Press picks up a story, the story makes it to the great audience of the mainstream media. And the audience relishes it. If this audience had the means to get their information from alternative media, they would hear of these heroic and tragic stories regularly. And they would have the information necessary to make informed decision. Instead, they are deluged with the negative, and feel powerless to act.

And God bless you, Walt Gaya, and all of those who have sacrificed for America.
