An open letter to all who serve in the American military.
I am a father of 3 children and would like in my little way to thank you for sacrificing so much to protect me and my family. Every day we wake up in America to a life of freedom and prosperity we owe a debt of thanks to you. I am proud to be an American and a lot of that pride comes from the way our military does the job they do and the way they do it.
I feel that pride when I see you have dispatched one of our enemies (and the more brutally the better IMO). I also feel that pride when I see you handing out toys and candy to the children in the war zone. Your days are hard, you have to put up with heat, cold, rain, snow, sand storms and physical exhaustion. Those of us at home would complain if there are more than 2 people in line at the checkout, we piss and moan at the price of gas and the list goes on. Yet when I see our soldiers speak it is always about the hardship of one of their fellow soldiers instead of their own suffering.
We all hope for your safe return. I selfishly hope for this because the Best of America is currently overseas and we need you here to infect the rest of us with your attitude and pride.
Sincerely
William.
