bless our troops

[Shadowcruzr]

I'm an agnostic, straight up. I have no use for religions. I feel man has perverted what may have been the desires of God into means of either controlling other men, extorting money from them or as an excuse for not being able navigate their lives on their own. That being said, if its your cup of tea so be it. Just don't try to force your beliefs on me. That is what is happening all over the world today as it has for all of time.
to that end, I sincerely and wholeheartedly give my respect and admiration to all my fellow brothers and arms that have gone before me to defend my right to say what I just said in a country that tho horribly flawed is still the greatest place on earth for me to live. And their sacrifices have made it possible for the peoples of a great many nations to live in the greatest place on earth for them.
To all the troops around the world putting their lives on hold and in harms way, I said most humbly, thank you and may your God bless you and keep you safe!
to all those those you have not come home, I shed a tear as I salute you and hope that you can somehow see the good that is all around thanks to you.
And to my son who is out on watch today protecting our coast, keep a sharp eye and stand tall. I salute you!
To all America, have a great Memorial Day weekend and take the time to say thank you and welcome home!

Agree...

Our troops are Patriots defending their country.

God(s) and religion aside, WE need to respect and honor our servicemen for their service and sacrifice. Not just today but every day.

I trust thaat we all agree with and support the personal outpouring of this patriotic comment:

"We need to respect and honor our servicemen for their service and sacrifice"

I grant to anyone the right to not agree and perhaps even to question the worth of the service rendered by our miliary but from a pure selfish aspect,

IF THEY WERE NOT THERE DOING THEIR DUTY, YOU OR SOME OF YOUR FAMILY AND CLAN MIGHT HAVE TO STEP INTO THE BREECH.

The world can be a very nasty place for the weak and confused of any country.
