DAY 15...
OSAMA BIN LADEN IS STILL DEAD
WHEN A WARRIOR COMES HOME
HE MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT BOREDOM
OR KEEP A STRAIGHT FACE WHEN PEOPLE BITCH ABOUT POT-HOLES
THEY MIGHT NOT BE SO TOLERANT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT HOW HARD IT IS TO GET READY FOR WORK IN THE MORNING
THEY MIGHT THINK YOU'RE SILLY WHEN YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT A BAD NIGHT'S SLEEP
THEY MIGHT HAVE SOME WORDS OF DISDAIN FOR PEOPLE WHO PRAY TO GOD FOR A NEW CAR
THEY MIGHT PANIC A LITTLE WHEN YOU TELL THEM TO DRIVE SLOWER
THEY WON'T UNDERSTAND A COMPLAINT ABOUT COACH OR BUSINESS CLASS TRAVEL
THEY'RE LIKELY TO WALK AWAY LAUGHING WHEN THE NEIGHBOR EXPRESSES FEAR OVER SENDING THEIR KIDS TO SUMMER CAMP
THEY MIGHT RIDICULE PEOPLE WHO COMPLAIN ABOUT HOT WEATHER
YOU'LL GET NO SYMPATHY WHEN YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT COLD COFFEE
THEY MIGHT NOT STAY CALM WHEN THE KIDS COMPLAIN ABOUT HAVING TO WALK THE DOG
THEY WON'T BE PATIENT WITH PEOPLE WHO BITCH ABOUT THEIR JOBS
ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT ONLY HAVING 2 WEEKS OF VACATION
THEY'LL HAVE NO SYMPATHY OR COMPASSION WHEN PEOPLE COMMENT ON HOW DIFFICULT IT IS WITH NEW BABY IN THE HOUSE
SOMETIMES WHEN A WARRIOR COMES HOME THEY WON'T HEAR ANY FUCKING THING YOU SAY...
AND JUST SO YOU KNOW:
YOUR THANKS IS NEVER REQUIRED.
BUT!
IT'S ALWAYS APPRECIATED.

I got this one from my buddy that was in the Special Forces.
Yes, Kurt... it IS about keeping everything in perspective.
I was running errands a few hours ago... passed one of the local funeral homes... and there were American flags all over the place... along with some of the motorcycle riders that have been attending the funerals of soldiers killed in action.
My first thoughts were, 'WHAT DID I MISS? WAS THERE A LOCAL SOLDIER THAT WAS KILLED IN ACTION?"
I cancelled my plans for that time, came back home and looked up the obituary online...
It seems that the funeral was being held for a 92 year old Chinese American... that came to the States when he was only 13... and went on to become a member of 'The Flying Tigers 14th Air Service Support Group!'
I regretted that I didn't have time to change clothes and attend that service.
May God Bless Mr. Steve Wee Len Wong...

God Bless
But do you ever think about how many men are killed being deployed to wars by a corrupt admin that they should never have been apart of? THAT, to me, is the biggest tragedy.
That's not a criticism , I'd really like to hear your thoughts on that Kurt. :)
Great post Kurt. It makes you appreciate what we have and how our lives are good. xo
Amen, Kurt. Amen.
A-M E N!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bless you :-)
