In Memory of All Persian Gulf War Veterans
It has come to be known as the 100 Hour War ... a war that was fought and won by our sons and daughters from the air above, the gulf beyond, and the ground in front ... a war seen on the Highway of Death and in the flames of burning oil wells ... a war marked by the media and won with technology ... a war that united a coalition to liberate Kuwait.
President George Bush warned an invading army: "A line has been drawn in the sand ... withdraw from Kuwait unconditionally and immediately, or face the terrible consequences." Failure to withdraw would mean having to face America with one goal: Justice ... the American military with one vision: Freedom for all.
