I can understand not telling him your views on the war, not now anyway, but I would bet that many of those serving would say that they do what they do <I>precisely</I> so you and I can speak out in dissent. Godspeed to him.poehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13593555218899491258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436199389637777509.post-47100205096608686042007-07-04T22:25:00.000-04:002007-07-04T22:25:00.000-04:00Wow that is so powerful to hear the story of that ...Wow that is so powerful to hear the story of that soldier! Thank you for helping us to see exactly what that number means! <BR/><BR/>I have adopted a soldier in Iraq and have sent some "care" packages and letters. His name was passed on to me from a friend of a friend. I haven't heard from him in a while but got an e-card from him today. He was wishing me a happy 4th and said simply "Hope you'alls is better than mine". It really choked me up because I never know if one of the numbers added is my adopted soldier. His life is on the line everyday for this country and do most Americans realize what is happening in our name? I have never shared with him my feelings about the war, because it is not about me. I appreciate his service and want to show it in some way. <BR/><BR/>When I stand in protest and people honk and give the thumbs up, I realize how many people agree with ending the occupation in Iraq. I am afraid at times to discuss the topic with people because I don't want anyone to think I do not support our troops! We have a few people call out nasty things like "go back to Iraq", and make rude comments or hand signals. If they took the time to talk to anyone staning in protest they would know that we LOVE our country and our service people! <BR/><BR/>Hope to see you at one of our protests, Happy 4th and from my friend in Iraq "Hope you'alls is better than mine"pinkyinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11233991214248494729noreply@blogger.com
