I am getting ready to go to a parade to welcome home our National Guard. Some of the troops are still in Kuwait because of the recent eruption of the volcano in Iceland so hopefully they will feel the love from our area.
I know so many people who think we shouldn't be at war, I agree lets just pack up all the bad guys in the world and put them somewhere where they can't hurt any of the non warring people and let them blow each other away........in a perfect world huh. War is bad and I hate it, I hate that it seems to be a necessity.
On the other hand I am so thankful for the men and women that are willing to put there LIVES on the line for thousands and thousand of people who think we Americans are just sticking our noses where they don't belong......I am thankful that they are willing to do this day in and day out and that their FAMILIES are willing to live without them for long stretches of time so that they can HELP others. I feel justified in my feelings because my Nephew put his LIFE on the line, my Brother put his LIFE on the line and my Brother-in-law put his LIFE on the line for others.
I like this quote.....and someday in a perfect world maybe this could happen :)
The only people with whom you should try to get even are those who have helped you.
