I think that Lee Greenwood said it best:
From the lakes of Minnesota to the hills of Tennessee across the plains of Texas From sea to shining sea From Detroit down to Houston and New York to L.A. there's pride in every American heart, and it's time to stand and say That I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free and I won't forget the Men who've died, and gave that right to me, and I'll gladly stand UP Next to you and defend her still today Cause there ain't no doubt I LOVE THIS LAND !!!!!!! God BLESS the USA. Thanks Rapunzel for stating this thread. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sully US Army '82-85, and '86-92 ODS. 19K20 (to you civvies, that's Sergeant on an M1 Abrams Tank in Desert Storm) Please check out welcomebackveterans.ORG Sad fact#1 An estimated 30% of our homeless in America are veterans. Sad fact#2 The amount of attempted suicides of our returning veterans is almost 400% more than any other time, with approx 2,700 attempts in the last 4 years. I pray that they all would use sporks, and not real knives or guns. May God bless the American fighting Woman and Man (and our allies too) |

Thank you, I can't tell you how much we appreciate it when people do and say things like this for us. Yes, I'm currently overseas in Iraq. Don't be sad for us, it's our job. We look out for each other, we're all family out here... every soldier will do their best to make sure their brother and sister soldiers come home safe. Dear Peacekeeper... ![]() I am thinking of you Brother ![]() and all the other Soldiers ![]() for all the inconvenience you go through and all the heroic deeds you do you put yourselves in harm's way ![]() to keep war at bay far away from the U S of A ![]() your unceasing efforts to bring peace and healing to the innocent war victims thank you for your amazing love bravery & dedication ![]() |
