Also folks, don't forget our vets in the VA, who may not get many cards for Christmas........I know Annie's students and mine make them cards, anyone else could organize something like that for their child's classroom too!
Our soldiers overseas and those who have served back home, take time to do something nice for them.
I may not like the mission, but I love the soldiers they sent to accomplish it. This Thanksgiving I met a soldier. I shook his hand and told him thank you when I met him and thanks again when he was leaving. Can you imagine that back during Viet Nam people spit on our returning soldiers and called them baby killers? That's like being an Enron stockholder and getting angry at an ex Enron employee.
They lost/sacraficed/got screwed/risked more than us! Anyways...
He was very interesting. He told us what it was like in and out of the green zone, and pretty much confirmed it is a mess over there. He was surprised how much I knew. And we were both surprised how little everyone else at the party knew. American's are Clueless!
They are all hero's. You know the scene where a safe is falling on someone's head and the hero instinctively rushes to the rescue? These guys know they are putting themselves in danger. This isn't the 90's where you join the service so you can get college money. This is the real deal!
I hope to see more people reply. Where are all the Righty's that for 6 years now have said I don't support the troops.
Sorry, I can't help but come here and be political. I'll take it somewhere else.
