When They Come Home...

Personally, I think WE ALL should copy this and
hang it on the wall so we can see it and be
reminded each and every day just how much OUR
FREEDOM COST and then we should SAY A PRAYER OF
THANKS AND PROTECTION FOR OUR SERVICE MEN AND
WOMEN!
And after that prayer we should write a letter or sign a card or go purchase something to put in the boxes for Supporting Our Heroes that are mailed out every week and really SHOW THEM HOW PROUD OF THEM WE ARE AND HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE AND LOVE THEM. . . . .
But then that's just me, my thought and opinion and here of late, my life . . .
To those who fought so I have the freedom "TO DO" what I want to do and to you who fought so that people in other countries could have the freedoms I enjoy everyday, YOU ARE AWESOME, YOU ARE CHAMPIONS, YOU ARE HEROES! From a wide world of people, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Love you all,
Jodi
When a Soldier or Marine returns home, they find it hard . . . .
...to listen to his son whine about being bored.
... to keep a straight face when people complain about pot holes.
... to be tolerant of people who complain about the hassle of getting ready for work.
... to be understanding when a co-worker complains about a bad night's sleep.
... to be silent when people pray to God for a new car.
... to control his panic when his wife tells him he needs to drive slower.
... to be compassionate when a businessman expresses a fear of flying.
... to keep from laughing when anxious parents say they are afraid to send their kids off to summer camp.
... to keep from ridiculing someone who complains about hot weather.
... to control his frustration when a colleague gripes about his coffee being cold.
... to remain calm when his daughter complains about having to walk the dog.
... to be civil to people who complain about their jobs.
... to just walk away when someone says they ONLY get two weeks vacation a year.
... to be forgiving when someone says how hard it is to have a new baby in the house.
The only thing harder than being a Soldier or Marine. . . .
... is loving one.
