Hello All;
I really felt this one was worth passing on and I hope you feel the same way. I know that the fact that I am a Vet myself has finely honed my appreciation for these issues. Subject: Anti-war protests. Our servicemen and women would not be trying to deal nearly as much with the distraction of the inner battle of "is what I'm doing right or wrong". The immediacy of communications these days keeps all the protests going on at home right in the faces of our troops. I know how these distractions can eat away at you, dull your edge and... Get you killed.
Please support our Troops, even if you don't support your government's decision to have them in harms way. Soldiers only act on the orders they are given or face jail time or "Treason" if they don't.
Fly your flag high and proud and honor it at every opportunity. Try to envision the young faces behind that flag fighting for YOU!
Then...Deal with the government who puts them there separately!
Please forgive my ranting's..they are from my soul. (that is not an apology)
