Thank You

I want to thank all the vetrans and all the families of the vetrans. The military is a hard job, for both the service person and their families. I know the pain of having a loved one overseas in Iraq, not knowing where they are when they announce that somebody has been killed, waiting every day for somebody to come down the driveway to tell you that your loved one has been killed, believe me, it's torture. But I can't imagine the pain and emotional toll being overseas, having to do the things you were trained to do, but never imagined you'd have to do. Seeing things that would drive a person crazy, and to keep going. I really don't know what else to say but thank you.




(And please don't start anything political on this thread! If you want to do that, start your own!)

When the bullets start whizzing past your head, and you see your fellow countrymen and women downed a few feet from you, lifeless, the politics and morality of the war goes out the window. All that matters for the footsoldier is to survive long enough to come home safely to their family.
