I'm sure our loyal MOMocrats readers sometimes get sick of me flogging the military issues on this blog. But, growing up in a military family and seeing what happens with medical care and housing and child care and education, I can't help but want to change things. Now, while I'm not always personally affected by the same issues as the wife of a Navy reservist, I know that my friends are and my brother is and my community is.
So, I'd like to show you a video put together after Michelle Obama's roundtable with military families in Norfolk, Virginia. This video explains so clearly why Barack Obama is my candidate for president.
Thanks for posting this. I haven't heard of Blue Star Families for Obama- off to take a look at their site. Clerly, I need to join!

I personally love the fact that you are involved with Blue Star Families and that the Obamas are such huge supporters. For a long time, I think the GOP has assumed that our military belongs to them, which is part of their propaganda message that being liberal or supporting Democratic candidates is somehow unpatriotic. Keep these posts coming!
