Go right to Comment Section.

UPDATE II: As of this morning (3/17/2003), more than 430 ScrappleFace readers have used the comment section on this item to encourage our troops. The editor has moved the item to the top again to make sure more readers avail themselves of this opportunity.
UPDATE: As of 3/13/2003, more than 300 ScrappleFace readers have posted comments here to encourage our troops. The Washington Post's Cindy Webb has mentioned this in the last paragraph of a story today(3/13/2003). Our troops stationed in the Persian Gulf region are beginning to hear about this, so another reader has suggested this post be moved to the top of the blog again.
So let it be done.
