If you read this, you will forward it on. You just won't be able to stop yourself.
For Joe Brennan Marine/Vietnam Vet And All Our Troops And Veterans Everywhere, Ever!
Thank Our Troops And Veterans For Your Freedom And Give Them A Hug Too!
The average age of the Military Man is 19 years.
He is a short haired, tight-muscled kid who, under normal circumstances is considered by society as half man, half boy.
He's a recent High School graduate, drives a ten year old jalopy.
He listens to rock and roll or hip-hop or rap or jazz and can swing a 155mm howitzer.
He is 10 or 15 pounds lighter now than when He was at home because He is working or fighting from before dawn to well after dusk.
He can field strip a rifle in 30 seconds and reassemble it in less time in the dark.
He can recite to you the nomenclature of a machine gun or grenade launcher and use either one effectively if He must.
He digs foxholes and can apply first aid like a professional.
He can march until He is told to stop, or stop until He is told to march.
He obeys orders instantly and without hesitation, but He is not without spirit or individual dignity.
He is self-sufficient. He has two sets of fatigues: He washes one and wears the other.
He can cook His own meals, mend His own clothes, and fix His own hurts.
If you're thirsty, He will share his water with you; if you are hungry, His food. He will even split His ammunition with you in the midst of battle when you run low.
He has learned to use His hands like weapons and weapons like they were His hands.
He will often do twice the work of a civilian, draw half the pay, and still find ironic humor in it all.
He has seen more suffering and death than He should have in His short lifetime.
He feels every note of the National Anthem vibrate through His body while at rigid attention, while tempering the desire to 'square-away ' those around Him who haven't bothered to stand, remove their hat, or even stop talking. In an odd twist, day in and day out, far from home, He defends their right to be disrespectful. Just as did His Father, Grandfather, and Great-grandfather, He is paying the price for our freedom. Beardless or not, He is not a boy. He is the American Fighting Man that has kept this country free for over 200 years.
He Has asked nothing in return, except our friendship and understanding.
Remember Him, always, for He Has earned our Respect And Admiration.
Now we even have Women over there in danger, doing Their part.
As you go to bed tonight, remember this image. A short lull, a little shade and a picture of Loved Ones in Their helmets.
Prayer wheel for our Military please don't break it.
Please send this on after a short prayer.
