One would have to be living near the center of the earth not to know about the wars that are raging across the world today. Although the campaigns are considerably different than they were during WWII, it's important to know that one thing has remained the same...........the need to support our men and women in the armed services, regardless of your opinion of the war.
Technology has made a global impact on the way in which we communicate with those overseas and even those who are stateside. Just think about it, during WWII, snail mail was the main contact between a solider and his loved ones back home. If something were to happen, imagine the anguish that a family had to endure in order to find out their loved one's fate.
Regardless, a veteran that has served his/her country should be showed respect and love upon returning from war. This hard lesson was not learned well when troops were returning from Vietnam in the 1970's as most of them were treated as if THEY were the ones for the blame of the war. What we learned then was that regardless of your opinion of the war, troops are doing something more than any of us would ever think of doing....putting their lives on the line for their country.
Before you go to bed tonight and every night after, say a prayer for those who are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice and remember how they are away from loved ones who miss them on a daily basis.
May God richly bless the USA and her troops!
