Support Danish Troops


My thoughts and prayers are with US and Coalition Troops. For the brave soldiers of Denmark, I support you. The rioting, boycotts, and violence directed at Danish troops over the infamous cartoons reflects nothing of your courage or your sacrifices or your hard work. If anything, the recent upheveal reflects that within the hearts and minds of these extremists is a darkness so deep that only God's redemption can penetrate it. As a Christian, I will continue to pray. As an American, I will continue to exercise my rights--and hope that freedom and democrcy will reach every oppressed nation. Liberty and Justice for ALL!


Danish Soldiers Play an Important Role in Assisting Coalition Troops and Iraqi Forces:

Assist Iraqi Army and Police in arresting criminals

Provide security to Coalition convoys moving through Iraq

Patrol villages (Most of the Danish troops are stationed in Basra)

Detonate and remove mines

Establish road blocks and monitor traffic

Provide medical assistance

Assist in the rebuilding of Basra


August 2003:
Danish troops working alongside a Christian charity from Norway bring a water purification system to al Hallah. For the first time in years, the 1,500 villagers of al Hallah have been able to enjoy clean water. Before the purification system was installed, the villagers were forced to drink polluted water from the Tigris River. Danish troops working with the Norweigan Church Aid charity installed a water purification system in al Hallah that is capable of cleansing 20,000 cubic metres of water from the Tigris each day.

For Thought: Isaiah 40: 26 (Good News Bible), "Look up at the sky! Who created the stars you see? The one who leads them out like an army, he knows how many there are and calls each one by name! His power is so great--not one of them is ever missing!"
