thanks Kayak for this
OH HELL YEAH! Love This Comeback 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, he 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! IF YOU AGREE____ Pass this on to all your proud American friends. I just did. |

 Oh that is soo sad
 my prayers go out to that Family
and to the Dad who supports them all
we certainly do have much more than enough work to take care of here
How much can we overextend ourselves 
before we realize that enough is enough
& we have done all that we can ?

I saw this a year or two ago. Well, the message is even more important now
 as time goes on and our Troops keep getting deployed
 and those who are there and haven't gotten killed
keep getting longer and longer tours of duty
18 plus hour days and 30 plus day missions
they are not robots  and they need to come home
