“You know there’s a lot of people who either agree or disagree with the war, should or shouldn’t
think we should be there, but the fact is, we are there. And leaving isn’t an option.”

Steve Horton's Story:

Steve Horton, my veteran and father, is a hero. He has been deployed and served in about every war the United States has been involved in since Desert Storm and Desert Shield in the early '90's. He has been able to go places in Africa and the Middle East and do things such as sit in Saddam Hussein's palace chair and become an expert in firing weapons such as an M-16 Rifle and a 9mm. Not to mention all of the medals and awards that he has recieved for his duties. A letter that he sent while in Balad, Iraq about a plane crashing because of mechanical failure actually flashed on Fox News right before his eyes and he recieved a call from the Air Force Central Command Commander saying, "Hey good job you got that out." He's done many things in the past twenty years to contribute to the many wars that he has been involved in and that's why my dad, Steve Horton, is a hero.
