Talk to me again January 1, 2011 and I bet nothings changed!!!!

I think many of who thank people in the military (at least with me) is because we missed the chance to serve ourselves. Maybe when we were younger we were too scared or didnt see its value, but later you begin to see all that it holds.

To many I'm sure it became a career choice, and being thanked would seem strange for doing your job, but in reality there is a great deal that many of you have had to endure for the sake of your service time. The changes in orders, the relocations, the less than stellar pay just to name a few...but always in the background is the chance that you may be called on to carry out service that could be life threatening. Many of us would immediately balk at such a job, and I'm sure none of you relish the prospect, but the fact remains that you knew that risk and you still move forward. This becomes even more emotionally challenging when there is family left behind.

We have been on the outside looking in, and we have seen the sorrow of those who were lost and the scars it leaves, so when you see someone who puts on the uniform, a uniform that says you have a level of dedication to do a job that your country asks you to place ahead of your own flesh and blood,and that's no small task.

To you its a job, a means to another end, and I would imagine you look forward to the day that you step down and breathe a sigh of relief that you finally made it.

Yet in the sage words of Morpheus to Neo...
"There is difference between knowing the path, and walking the path. I can show you the door,but you have to be the one who walks thru it."

While that is just a line from a movie, it speaks volumes about those who put on the colors of our nation, who give of themselves for greater good. To you, your part may seem minor, but to many of us you are a stripe on the flag, a feather on the eagle's wing and the claws on his talons...maybe many of us see you as what maybe we wished we had done...but we are proud and glad that you did.

Just like pro sports, the veterans step down and the rookies rise up. We can cheer for sports teams but there is only one real "America's Team"...and it dont belong to Jerry Jones.

yes thanks for all you do from the bottom of mine and my families heart. you are very appreciated.

To be a better man and appreciate others more.

to appreicate things more and spend all the time i can with my daughter. cant wait til spring, she loves watching daddy drag race lol

If you are looking to help the troops, check these sites out. They are always looking for volunteers and or small items to send to the guys and gals who are serving where they can't get to a store for the "little" things they need. I personally keep in touch with friends of mine who deploy and send them stuff all the time. Even if it is their favorite chewing gum, car magazines, chapstick, moisture wicking socks, kool aid drink or gatorade drink packets to put in bottled water etc.
