flyingferret 0 #7 November 11, 2004 Thank you to each and every one of you. Freedom is not free. Quote A veteran I was, that others did not want to be. I went where others did not want to go and did what others failed to do. I asked nothing from those who gave nothing and reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness should I fail. I have seen the face of terror. I have felt the sting of fear and I have enjoyed the sweet taste of a moment's love. But, most of all, I have lived the times best forgotten At least I am able to say that I am proud of what I am. A veteran who served his country. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raggdoll 0 #8 November 11, 2004 I wrote this almost a year ago; it still holds true to me today. To the men and women of our military, I have but two words. Thank you. This is not a question of respecting our government. This is not a question of respecting the decisions, the choices, made by those in high command, those who will never experience the atrocities of war, those who will never risk their own lives. This is acknowledgement that men and women have fought for our country in the past and will continue to do so in the future, for as long as humanity will exist. This is acknowledgement that men and women have given their lives, literally and figuratively, for what they consider to be sacrifice-worthy, most without complaints, most without asking for acknowledgement or accolades, and were happy to have the opportunity to do so. This is acknowledgment that men and women are currently fighting in a war, are risking their own lives, leaving their families, friends, and loved ones, and doing their job, a job which ultimately is extremely risky and involves the ultimate sacrifice. They are placing their lives on the line for me. For you. For everyone. A soldier doesn't fight for his country, his government, his family. He fights for those beside him. He fights to save their lives just as he fights to save his own. I can't help but continuously think of all of these people and the many sacrifices they are making. They're making sacrifices of their families. Their friends. Most importantly, themselves. And yet . . . they're risking their lives because it's their job and, ultimately, their beliefs that this is where they can (and do) do the most good. I wish I could send a message to all of the troops, overseas and at home, and tell them all thank you. I wish I could let them know that their sacrifices are not in vain; they will never be forgotten. May we learn from our past mistakes. May we always be thankful. May we never forget. Happy Veteran's Day. And thank you, for my freedom. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kid_Icarus 0 #9 November 11, 2004 I also wanted to say thanks. You often go without praise for the sacrifice you willingly make for us. your bravery makes our freedom possible. With respect...many thanks. JJ ________________________________________ "What What..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

outlawhottie 0 #11 November 11, 2004 you're all welcome. thank you so much for the support and the words you've written. i cried just now after reading them. i'm not on the fromt lines but i have served in the war this last year and it does suck over there. it's great to know that people haven't forgotten. at times it seems like people have. i just wanted to let you all know how much the troops over seas do appreciate what is done here at home. we're not the only ones going through a tough time. i just wanted to say thanks.
