FOR OUR SOLDIERS!!

I just needed to write a little somethin down today. This is mostly for any soldiers including mine that are deployed right now. For our regiment, we've hit our 12 month of deployment and now we're 12 months and counting. I think we're all reaching our breaking points. Our patience is really being tested. Our families are going through more than I can even describe and anyone reading this thats in this boat or has been before, knows exactly what I'm talking about.This is not meant to have any political opinion so please don't take it that way. Whether you are for or against this war, the fact is, our soldiers are there. With the difficult times I'm really starting to have, I can only imagine how it is for my soldier. For your soldier, for THE soldiers!! So I just wanted to say that now is the time they need our support more than ever! Its times like this when I'm thinking, just come home already, just get the heck out of that place, I have to remember why my husband is there. I have to remember that horrible day that happened almost 7 years ago. Maybe we did or didn't go in there for the "right reasons", but I truely believe in the depth of my heart that if we hadn't, that would not have been the last attack. Tonight my children and I will sleep safely because the soldiers here are protecting us. They protect us while my soldier protects the world! My family so far away goes to their jobs, schools, church, etc without the fear that the second they step foot there, they will be blown up. They know they are able to speak the way they want, worship the way they want, work where they want, and hold their heads up high when they walk out the door. The children of my friends, aunts, uncles, cousins, brothers and sisters can play outside without worrying that their child will pick up what they think is a soda can and instead its an explosive device. Or that they will be given a "toy gun" and be told to aim it at the soldier over there protecting the children and pull the trigger. There is evil over there and it won't stay on its own continent. Its because of our soldiers that are there educating, protecting and giving some hope to people who have never known the meaning of that word. That hope given to them is what is fighting this evil. Its what is keeping it from attacking us in our homes. And incase anyone is starting to question why they are there, to question what the point of all this is, I just want to say....regardless of reasons, WE SUPPORT YOU!! We miss you, we love you, and most importantly, WE APPRECIATE YOU! And until we see you again, STAY SAFE!!!http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=OzX-09P3UEY
