Peoples true feelings about soldiers
There is nothing more true and shameful than the following quote:
Technorati Tags : Iraq, Baghdad, War, OIF, Army, Military, Navy, Marines, Veterans
For God and the soldier we adore, In time of danger, not before!The danger passed, and all things righted, God is forgotten and the soldier slighted." - Rudyard Kipling

Remember what Memorial Day is for........Please
I hope that you all enjoy your time off on what for most is a three day weekend. I do have this one request for all of you out there, please remember what this time off is all about. Most of you will go camping or to a fun vacation spot with your families and not even give a second thought to why you have the time off.
I ask that you remember the soldiers that never shared any more time with their loved ones, never played with their kids again, never grew old with their wife or husband.
I don't care if you support the current war in Iraq or if you have supported the reason we fought at any time in our history because to the soldier, politics means very little during a time of conflict.
Soldiers go where the leaders of our country point us, we have a job to do and our feelings on the issue at hand don't matter.
We only know that we must do our job even if it means we'll never see our home again. We only know that the person to our right and our left are counting on us to do our job so that they may live to see tomorrow and that is all we ask in return.
One of my duties since returning from Iraq is as a team leader providing the final honors for a fallen soldier and their families. Most of the services that we conduct are for WWII and Korean vets but we have had some soldiers from Iraq pass through the gates of the National Cemetary where I am stationed.
There is nothing worse than the thought of people protesting against these honorable soldiers during the last moments that their families can be near them. I have been lucky not to have run in to any protestors and I beg you all from the bottom of my heart, PLEASE keep your protests away from those that had no choice in the matter. Keep it away from the easy targets that crying family members make. Let them have their time, they have earned it.
This Monday there will be services honoring those that have passed during times of war, please go and support these honorable soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines. If your politics don't agree with when or why you think they died leave that at home and go to support the people that are there to protect you, to offer your freedom to you and that allow you to stay with your families in your nice soft bed while they are alone, cold, hungry and scared.
Agree with why we fight or not, like us or not I don't care..........Just please don't forget us.

Illegal immigrants take to the streets!
If people want to have the rights granted to Americans shouldn't they want to become Americans?
If they want to become Americans, do they really think it is wise to start out by breaking not only our law but also our sovereignty by sneaking across our borders?
If our government bows to these law breakers then why should I follow any of our laws?
Why should I, a soldier that has earned every right granted to Americans, follow laws that don't mean very much?
What do you think would happen if a large group of Americans marched across the Mexican border waving American flags, I bet they would shoot at us and try to send us home!
I heard one protest "leader" today that said if the people that had died sneaking across the border were animals, Americans would be screaming for a fix to the problem but because they are Mexican, nobody cares. To that I say, if you were trying to get in to this country at a border crossing you wouldn't need to worry about staying alive!
