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 see only what the media wants you to see.
He sees the broken bodies lying around him. :angry: :bonez :angry:
__________________________
You are asked to go to the store by your parents. You don't.
He does exactly what he is told. :box :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
