Here in OK it has been extremely hot (112 the other day - most days at least 104). Anyway, I was talking to my son about it. He said well, just think mom, when I was in Iraq, it was 130 temp and we were carrying/wearing 50 lbs. of gear. That humbled me. I remember thinking of him over there and how miserable he must be. So when I get to feeling gripy about the heat, I think of our soldiers who are over there, no AC, no cold water most of the time, and wearing all that gear.
