Fighting for your country

A republican senator from South Carolina named Lindsey Graham, who is a national guard reserve, is now serving for our country in Kabul Afghanistan. He enrolled in ROTC in 1973 and has been serving as a military lawyer ever since. He was working in Kabul training U.S. lawyers and judges that will be working in Afghanistan. Graham is very respected because in 2005 he and Hilary Clinton worked with tricare to try and get more soldiers insurance. About 25% of the U.S. soldiers don't have insurance. Graham and other U.S. officals including President Obama have concluded that this war in Afghanistan is going to get a lot tougher. There have been more deaths in Afghanistan in 2008 than there has been in any year after the invasion. Senator Graham is doing a great job fufilling his duties not only as a senator but as a membera s the U.S. army helping for the betterment of our country. I think what he is doing is a great example for other political senators to follow because he is supporting what the new president is planning on doing and that provides hope for the future, and that is what we desperatly need.
