Thank Them

[ric]

Heres an AWESOME video, but before I post the link let me ask you this:
How much do YOU value for Freedom ? your Rights ? your Liberties ?
Next time you see a Veteran, go up to them, and simply shake thier hand, and say "Thank You"
You have no idea how much it means to them, after all, they, are the reason, we have so many freedoms, liberties and rights as an American.
Heres the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ervaMPt4Ha0 BTW, Ive shanken the hand of Vets and say Than You, for soo long now, my kids do it, lol

Very nice, thanks for posting that. My father is a marine (always will be) and came home with the Purple Heart from Viet Nam and some of the stories he has told me over the years would surprise most and change the way some people treat veterans of war. My signature (under the avatar) on alot of forums I am on is "Home of the Free because of the Brave" Its because of them I live like I do today, cant thank them enough. Good post.

Please allow me to share one of the best poem I've read, by CHARLES M. PROVINCE:


IT IS THE SOLDIER

It is the Soldier, not the minister
Who has given us freedom of religion.

It is the Soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the Soldier, not the poet
Who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer
Who has given us freedom to protest.

It is the Soldier, not the lawyer
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the Soldier, not the politician
Who has given us the right to vote.

It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag.

lol well yes and no. the tacomas are assembled in mexico, I "think" the 4Runners are made AND assembled in Japan, not sure, but Honda civics are assembled in Ohio and so on.. NOTHING is truely made in America anymore

But the point is, You have the freedoms to chose, what vehicle YOU drive, you have the freedom to chose what school you go to, what career you want, etc.
AND how do you have them freedoms ???? OUR VETS. :bigok:

that was very inspiring, and I now know what it meant to you when you thanked me on the other forum for joining the Air Force, so I want to thank you and anyone else who has the heart for caring.

Thank You.

until you are apart of it you never think of what those men and women and their familys go thru. my 17 yr old son has signed up with the army reserves as a combat engineer. he goes to basic training in june. then he comes home to do his senior year in high school then leaves for his AIT training. at that time he's wanting to go to active duty to be deployed weres he's needed. its a scary feeling noing he could walk out that door one day never to return. so i say THANK YOU to all the men and women serving today and in the past and future you have my utmost respect and gratitude!!!!!!!
