Copied from a friend: I was going to complain about how hot it is... then I realized that at least 1. it isn't 109 degrees; 2. I'm not 5,700 miles from home; 3. I'm not dressed in a full ACU/BDU uniform, helmet & carrying 70+ lbs.; 4. there is very little chance that anyone will shoot at me or that I might drive over a bomb in the road! Thanks to all who serve! God bless them!
|

Well said. Thanks to all our military and families, past, present, and future for the freedoms you are allowing us.

Amen to that, so many whiners out there don't realize how good they have it. Prayers go up daily for their safety.
|
Amen and God Bless all who serve.

God forgive me for my whining. I don't realize how good I have it until I read something like this. God bless them and keep them safe.

You're so right. We have nothing to really complain about.

Amen to that!
Peace Man! |

Thank you for the perspective that brought me up short for today.
Give thanks in all things. And pray for our military!! Jan in VA |
Yes, you are so right. We must keep this all in perspective. My daughter has been over in Iraq and Afghanistan and got to experience some of that heat!!!
|
Double Amen to that!
|
Amen, thanks to all the men and women serving our country. God Bless them all.
|
Thanks for the reminder!!! Our oledest Grandson is almost at a year, for the second time in Iraq.
|
Well said. A friends son came home from the middle east Sunday for a 2 week leave. His job entails that we never know exactly where he is but the heat came up. Says it always makes him shakle his head when he's in a store or something and people complaining about the "terrible heat". Imagine if your one of the tank drivers - it's like being in a steam bath fully dressed.

My Son-in-law and Grandson both spent 2 terms of service in Iraq, and said that in the hottest of summer the temps can get up to 140 degrees!!!! And GS said riding in his hummer was like sitting in front of a blast furnace, and there was always the fun of dust storms that would make it a hot, total darkness... |
God bless our military men and women for what they endure for us!
|
God bless America and our soldiers!!!!!
|
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS...thanks for posting....I never complain about summer but man o man...you dont want to hear my winter rantings...I absolutely detest everything about winter
|
So true, thanks for the reality check!
Susan |
Thanks for the reminder :-) God Bless all in harms way and see them home safely!
|
Could not have said it better myself thanks for reminding us of how lucky we are.
