My brother served in the Marine Corps in Iraq during the second gulf war. He is now re-enlisting in the Air Force to try and be part of a para rescue team. I sometimes forget to say thanks for all he has done for his country. This reminded me. Thanks for posting.
A.S. brother...I always know you are going to post something good. Snowesters I am not going to say this for praise...please don't praise. Go and thank a serviceman when you get the chance.
I have 2 sons and the parts with fathers and sons kills me. I lose it....especially seeing the little boys and funerals ...and the boys that understand crying and reaching out to the casket. There is a picture of a marine funeral I have in my office. It is a marine handing a flag to a boy my son's age. I could barely look at it at first....but it reminds me everyday to be a better father, especially if I am whisked away again to go over there.
I urge everyone to say hi to a soldier and tell him/her thank you. Nothing gives me greater satisfaction than when I am uniform and someone comes up to me and says that. It makes it all worth it. About a month ago I was making up some drill time in uniform and I was at lunch. A woman, about 70, came up to me and grab the sleeve of my uniform and had a tear in her eye and said thank you. I didn't know why she had a tear....I speculate because of a lost husband, son, or grandson.
Just a simple thank you means so much to the people that serve. So much!
