Sex and the University: For the Soldiers
I am overly excited. Tonight is a night I have waited for, for many months. My friend James, is back from Iraq, and is coming to visit. It felt like this day would never come and the more boys I know being shipped out the more my mind begins to churn. We have been through this before with another Bush, yet now everything is different. I remember when I was younger my mother made us, kids pins with yellow ribbons, and every tree in our neighborhood had yellow ribbons on them. But to be honest it never meant anything to me. I didnt know who the men and woman were fighting and the cause they believed in enough to sacrifice their lives. Now I know it all to clearly.
Last semester I remember not a day went by that I didnt check the papers for news from across the seas, not a day my stomach didnt turn when the list of casualties came in and I worried that I would recognize someone. At the moment no one I know is over seas but that is only temporary. I can breathe easy for the moment. But all and all I support the cause because this isnt Vietnam and there was no draft. You cant support the soldiers without supporting the cause. So with that, God Bless and Godspeed.
