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!


IF YOU AGREE____ Pass this on to all your proud
American friends.


I just did.

she is right we should stop it, bomb the terro groups yes but there as
never been one single terrorist from iraqi until we went there
