Veterans Day


Recommended Posts

Hopefully the following email is readable. I copied/pasted from email I received from a friend.

Hopefully it worked 'cause I think it is important.

I thought it was worth sharing given Veterans Day is Saturday, Nov 11....lets keep things in perspective :clap [/b]

 

In honor of those that are serving, will serve, have served and/or have given the ultimate sacrifice...

WE THANK YOU!!!!!

 

Your alarm goes off, you hit the snooze and sleep for another 10

minutes.

He stays up for days on end :)

_________________________

You take a warm shower to help you wake up.

He goes days or weeks without running water.

__________________________

You complain of a "headache", and call in sick.

He gets shot at as others are hit, and keeps moving forward. :bonez<_<

__________________________

You put on your anti war/don't support the troops shirt, and go meet up

with your friends.

He still fights for your right to wear that shirt. <_<

__________________________

You make sure you're cell phone is in your pocket.

He clutches the cross hanging on his chain next to his dog tags. :)

__________________________

You talk trash about your "buddies" that aren't with you.

He knows he may not see some of his buddies again. :)

__________________________

You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls.

He walks the streets, searching for insurgents and terrorists. :angry::bonez

You complain about how hot it is.

He wears his heavy gear, not daring to take off his helmet to wipe his

brow. :bonez

__________________________

You go out to lunch, and complain because the restaurant got your order

wrong.

He doesn't get to eat today. :hellloooo

__________________________

Your maid makes your bed and washes your clothes.

He wears the same things for weeks, but makes sure his weapons are

clean. :hellloooo

__________________________

You go to the mall and get your hair redone.

He doesn't have time to brush his teeth today. :asshat

You're angry because your class ran 5 minutes over.

He's told he will be held over an extra 2 months. :angry::angry::angry::angry::angry:

__________________________

You call your girlfriend and set a date for tonight.

He waits for the mail to see if there is a letter from home. :restore

__________________________

You hug and kiss your girlfriend, like you do everyday.

He holds his letter close and smells his love's perfume :):):)

__________________________

You roll your eyes as a baby cries

He gets a letter with pictures of his new child, and wonders if they'll

ever meet :yeah

_______________________

You criticize your government, and say that war never solves anything.

He sees the innocent tortured and killed by their own people an

remembers why he is fighting. :asshat :yeah

You hear the jokes about the war, and make fun of men like him.

He hears the gunfire, bombs and screams of the wounded. :angry::angry::bonez

You stay at home and watch TV.

He takes whatever time he is given to call, write home, sleep, and eat. :hellloooo:corndance

__________________________

You crawl into your soft bed, with down pillows, and get comfortable.

He crawls under a tank for shade and a 5 minute nap, only to be woken by

gunfire. :thumbs:angry:

__________________________

You sit there and judge him, saying the world is probably a worse place

because of men like him.

If only there were more men like him! :bonez:bonez:yeah:yeah
