Our troops and justice system at Gitmo should make Americans proud

I went on this trip to Guantanamo along with my above pictured sister, Janet Roy. Watching the military commission in action and meeting the young men and women who guard the detainees was life changing. The system that is now in place works; it is truly democracy in action and should make Americans proud. I wish that everyone had the opportunity to go and see the proceedings and visit GTMO. I think that given the facts, most thinking Americans would not debate the need for the continuance of this system of justice.
