Someone sent me this story
One of my sons serves in the military. He is still stateside, here in California. He called me yesterday to let me know how warm and welcoming people were to him, and his troops, everywhere he goes, telling me how people shake their hands, and thank them for being willing to serve, and fight, for not only our own freedoms but so that others may have them also. But he also told me about an incident in the grocery store he stopped at yesterday, on his way home from the base. He said that ahead of several people in front of him stood a woman dressed in a burkha. He said when she got to the cashier she loudly remarked about the U.S. flag lapel pin the cashier wore on her smock. The cashier reached up and touched the pin, and said proudly," Yes, I always wear it and probably always will." The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when she was going to stop bombing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi. A gentleman standing behind my son stepped forward, putting his arm around my son's shoulders, and nodding towards my son, said in a calm and gentle voice to the Iraqi woman: "Lady, hundreds of thousands of men and women like this young man have fought and died so that YOU could stand here, in MY country and accuse a check-out cashier of bombing YOUR countrymen. It is my belief that had you been this outspoken in YOUR own country, we wouldn't need to be there today. But, hey, if you have now learned how to speak out so loudly and clearly, I'll gladly buy you a ticket and pay your way back to Iraq so you can straighten out the mess in YOUR country that you are obviously here in MY country to avoid." Everyone within hearing distance cheered!

Invisible Soldier
You can tell her by the twinkle in her eye, At parades when the flag marches by. She served our country and she served it very well. Some have even served a tour or two in Hell. She suffered hardship and never ceased to care. It gave us strength just to know that she was there. She was a leader, you could tell by the rank she wore, But she became the invisible soldier after the war. She can march, she can fly, and she can sail. She proved that bravery isn't exclusive of the male. She did every job she was asked and more, But she became the invisible soldier after the war. Now, it is finally time to right a wrong. Honor our sister soldier; hear her song. It's very clear that she's a patriot to the core. Don't let her be the invisible soldier anymore. ...©1995 Sarge Lintecum |

http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/beatles/within_you_without_you.html by The Beatles... Within & Without You We were talking - about the space between us all And the people -  who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion Never glimpse the truth -  then it's far too late when they pass away We were talking - about the love we all could share When we find it - to try our best to hold it there - with our love With our love we could save the world - if they only knew Try to realise it's all within yourself - no-one else can make you change And to see you're really only very small And life flows on within you and without you. We were talking - about the love that's gone so cold And the people who gain the world and lose their soul They don't know, they can't see - are you one of them ?  When you've seen beyond yourself Then you may find peace of mind is waiting there And the time will come when you see we're all one And life flows on within you and without you. |
