its the principle of the story, its not supporting war its supporting our troops and praying they do get home safe.. weather the story is a lie or not, dosent matter to me. there are lil kids all over the world that have either lost their mom or dad cuz of the war and i thought this was a cute story to share.. i have seen military personel treat lil kids like this in public place, its not cuz they have to, they choose to..

and like i said i didnt ask for you to post anything in reply to this topic. it was your choice and EVERYONE has their opion and thoughts bout things.. i just dont apprechiate being attacted and called names and bashed on cuz i posted something.. take a look and see what others post some of its stupid ****.

go cry somewhere ur so stupid... whats there to cry about. ABSOUTELY NOTHING!!!!!!!!!! DUMBAZZ

i dont care if you a vet cuz your stipid.. and i dont care if you say the story is a fake.. i have tons of letters from people serving and if all you can do is sit there and bash me well you need to get a real ****ing life it seems as if your the only one who has a real ****ing problem with what i posted so get the **** over it and move on.. ya dont like it then go some where else and bug the **** out of others.. i do what i do and help who i wanna help and support the troops 100 percent and if you dont good so be it.. and that shows your not a true vet!

for one im not a freaking moron and for two i dont care if your vet..
and what have i done? well i was in the air national guard for 4 years, and now i write letters and send care packages for those overseas.. so maybe you should do some reasearch before you go bashing people

aslo i live with 2 people that were injured during the war and they both are highly pissed off at the comments some of you have posted.. and i think you know who you are..

wow i guess i didnt realize how many dumbazz people are out there and that dont give a crap bout the country that they live in.. just for the record i didnt wanna start any crap or piss people off.. seems as if i have tho.. but i thought this was a CUTE story and that everyone HOW SUPPORTS OUR TROOPS should hear and read a bout this.. like i said in the very beginning when i posted this a friend of mine whos in the military and as a matter of fact hes in iraq right now.. asked me to show and share this story with everyone and anyone i could.. i have letters to prove that all the soliders in the military-dosent matter what branch- want our support and respect to bring them home.. dont know bout some of you but if you had a loved one or actually knew someone in iraq fighting for their life every damn day youd be kinda upset with some of the things you ANTI-WAR AND NON SUPPORTERS say..

and on the ending note, if you didnt like or support what i posted then dont ****ing post a reply on it.. well all have our rights and opions to everything in life..

your so welcome.. i have read it over and over today.. and i got it early friday morning and i wore red all day friday

This is a really cute and sad kinda story.. sorry its long but i recieved it from someone whos in the military and i had to share it with everyone.. enjoy!!


Will you give this to my Daddy?

As a Company, Southwest Airlines is going to support 'Red Fridays.



Last week I was in Atlanta, Georgia attending a conference. While I was in the airport, returning home, I heard several people behind me beginning to clap and cheer. I immediately turned around and witnessed one of the greatest acts of patriotism I have ever seen.



Moving thru the terminal was a group of soldiers in their camos. As they began heading to their gate, everyone (well almost everyone) was abruptly to their feet with their hands waving and cheering. When I saw the soldiers, probably 30-40 of them, being applauded and cheered for, it hit me. I'm not alone.
I'm not the only red-blooded American who still loves this country and supports our troops and their
families. Of course I immediately stopped and began clapping for these young unsung heroes who are putting their lives on the line everyday for us so we can go to school, work and home without fear of reprisal.Just when I thought I could not be more proud of my country or of our service men and women, a young girl, not more than 6 or 7 years old ran up to one of the male soldiers. He kneeled down and said 'hi.
The little girl then asked him if he would give something to her daddy for her. The young soldier, who didn't look any older than maybe 22 himself, said he would try and what did she want to give to her daddy. Then suddenly the little girl grabbed the neck of this soldier, gave him the biggest hug she could muster and then kissed him on the cheek.The mother of the little girl, who said her daughter's name was Courtney, told the young soldier that her husband was a Marine and had been in Iraq for 11 months now. As the mom was explaining how much her daughter Courtney missed her father, the young soldier began to tear up.
When this temporarily single mom was done explaining her situation, all of the soldiers huddled together for a brief second. Then one of the other servicemen pulled out a military-looking walkie-talkie. They started playing with the device and talking back and forth on it. After about 10-15 seconds of this, the young soldier walked back over to Courtney, bent down and said this to her, 'I spoke to your daddy and he told me to give this to you.' He then hugged this little girl that he had just met and gave her a kiss on the cheek. He finished by saying 'your daddy told me to tell you that he loves you more than anything and he is coming home very soon. The mom at this point was crying almost uncontrollably and as the young soldier stood to his feet, he saluted Courtney and her mom. I was standing no more than 6 feet away from this entire event.
As the soldiers began to leave, heading towards their gate, people resumed their applause. As I stood there applauding and looked around, there were very few dry eyes, including my own. That young soldier in one last act of selflessness turned around and blew a kiss to Courtney with a tear rolling down his cheek.



We need to remember everyday all of our soldiers and their families and thank God for them and their sacrifices.

At the end of the day, it's good to be an American.


RED FRIDAYS ----- Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing Red every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the 'silent majority'. We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers.

We are not organized, boisterous or over-bearing.. We get no liberal media coverage on TV, to reflect our message or our opinions. Many Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of America supports our troops.

Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday -and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that.. Every red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar will wear something red.

By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United States on every
Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers.

If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, co-workers, friends, and family.

It will not be long before the USA is covered in RED and it will let our troops know the
once 'silent' majority is on their side more than ever; certainly more than the media lets on.


The first thing a soldier says when asked 'What can we do to make things better for you?' is...We need your support and your prayers.

Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example; and wear something red every Friday.



GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!!!
