............please remember those service men that gave their lives so we might live one more abundantly. I usually wear my red white and blues during these days and try and wear them once a week and a little flag pendant.
Maybe I should show it more and everyday. I'm personally glad to live in these United States. I can't think of any other country that I would want to live in. And those I hear about aren't as rich and healthy as we are. Yes, we have our problems, but looking back in history, haven't we always had something going on?
My daughter sent me a copy of my son-in-law's message to his friends and family. She is very proud of him and so am I. Proud of him and those other men and women serving our country. But, sometimes.......we need to be reminded. It doesn't matter if you are for or against what they are doing abroad. The fact is, they ARE there and they ARE serving, and that is what matters!!
This letter is not a butter me up letter, it is FACT. And he puts it in plain text! I think any American can understand this. God bless those that have served and keep serving so we can be free!
The next time you kiss, hug or cuddle, laugh or hang out with someone that you care about or when you party with your friends, or complain about not getting to go out on a weekend because you had to work or something came up or think about all the little things that you enjoy so much in your life, just keep in the back of your pretty little head that there are men and women that have given all of that up to fight for their country and take pride in something so much more than you could ever imagine. It doesn't matter if they believe in everything that is going on, but they had the intestinal fortitude to change their way of life so YOU can continue to carry on your oh so perfect life. If you know someone that is in the military, you should call, send them an email or a letter to let them know that you appreciate everything they do and tell them thank you for everything that they have sacrificed and put aside to serve the country that they love. I see my Marines and other's Marines, Sailors and Soldiers bust their ass, morning, noon and night to accomplish whatever mission they are given and they can't even get a thank you from the ones they love.
If this doesn't apply to you then I appologize and I salute you for your support and hope that you would pass this on, but for those... and you know who you are, that don't give two shits then you need to re-think your morals and show at least a little bit of interest in the ones who aren't scared to take a bullet for your sorry ass, and if you disagree with me then you need to go find the nearest traffic light and stand directly under it.
