I won't be home for Christmas.

[davidlayne 5]

I won't be home for Christmas....

I am among the thousands of Americans who served in uniform in Iraq and
Afghanistan who are now gone. Many who survived their wounds will never be
whole. Many will have life expectancies far shorter than others their age
who never served in uniform... never seeing the same number of Christmases
to come.

I am among the millions of Americans who served in uniform during WW2 who
are now gone... and it is estimated that less than eleven percent of the
men and women who served during WW2 are alive today, with more than a
thousand passing away each day.

I am among the tens of thousands of Americans who served in uniform in
Korea who are now gone... and it is estimated that less than four percent
of the men and women who served in Korea are alive today, with more than
seven hundred passing away each day.

I am among the hundreds of thousands of Americans who served in uniform in
Vietnam who are now gone... and it is estimated that less than one-third of
the men and women who served in Vietnam are alive today, with more than a
two hundred passing away each day.

I and those with me won't be home for Christmas. Please always remember
us... and those who will join us before next Christmas...

Signed,
The Unforgotten Soldier

I don't care how many skydives you've got,
until you stepped into complete darkness at
800' wearing 95 lbs of equipment and 42 lbs
of parachute, son you are still a leg!
