Bruce Thanks the Troops

One of my favorite actors, Bruce Willis and a true patriot is reported by Michael Yon visiting and praising our troops at Fort Lewis:

...And so, Mr. Willis wanted to personally thank American soldiers for their successes and sacrifices in Iraq, and made plans to fly to the Fort Lewis area and thank soldiers who fought so well. Mr. Willis will attend the Deuce Four Ball near Fort Lewis, on November 5th, 2005. His gesture is being warmly and enthusiastically received by the soldiers, who are looking forward to welcoming Mr. Willis to the Fort Lewis area, and thanking him for his support for American troops.

And Willis responds:

I was recently sent what has come to be called a "blogspot", written by a gentleman named Michael Yon, who is currently reporting from the frontlines of Iraq. I have found his writing to be refreshing, honest, and compassionate, and anyone who has Family in Harm's Way either in Iraq, Afghanistan, at Sea, or anywhere else in the World will hopefully find his reporting to be as un-filtered and manipulation-free as I have.I do NOT write this to try to affect your opinion of the War one way or the other. We are ALL entitled to believe what we wish. But in a World where even children can easily spot the Media's over-whelming appetite for the Sensational, I have found Mr. Yon's Site to be what feels like the Real Deal. michaelyon.blogspot.com
