All I'm asking is for a little respect...
So I have heard recently some terrible news about a good friend of Jordan and I, another couple friend in fact. I guess well he isn't such a good friend. We hear that he is telling people we don't know very well that Jordan is not a real Marine because he has never been to Iraq. Clark says he has room to talk because the guy that says it has been to Iraq with the Army. At first I nodded but, no he has no room to talk. If it wasn't for Jordan's job Marines would not get paid while they are in Iraq, would not have plane tickets to where they need to be, and even worse yet would not have plane tickets home. Jordan couldn't go to Iraq if he tried due to his job title, and he is hard enough on himself for it, he doesn't need people touching that soft spot.
Jordan dedicates every Christmas, not to me, or family but to complete and total strangers. He makes sure all children of Lubbock get a gift for Christmas. It is not the easiest thing, in fact Toys for Tots is more dreaded than Iraq, due the hours it consumes. They have hundreds of Marines volunteer for Iraq, while they have to plead with reservists to put their time into dealing with ungrateful thief's. I want to address the issue. Especially considering all that we have done for Shane and Becky. I love Becky to death and I know she would never take part in it, and it's just a trait in Shane's personality. Just because Jordan has not gone to Iraq does not make him a lesser person, and does not make it okay and mock who he is behind his back. I'm angry. No doubt about it. How do I go about addressing it to someone like this? He will either just mock me, laugh, or make up some lame excuse. Why can people just put their pride aside from time to time and just say "wow, that was wrong of me, I'm sorry." What has happened to the idea of being humble? Disrespect is despicable.
