Question

i thank each and everyone who has served in the military, serves in the military, and the families. you all have made huge sacrifices for my freedom and i really appreciate you. thanks and happy day:)

i will be posting this question every time i am online until our troops are home:)

Answer 1

I thank everyone connected to a man or woman in uniform. I am the woman hugging the shy private who is out to lunch while on training. I am the woman hugging the old, withered man with the "Indianapolis Survivor" cap on his head. I am the woman hugging the woman whose bumpersticker reads, "My Son is Serving in Iraq".

I may not believe in the war we are involved in now, but I definitely believe in the men and women who are fighting it. And I believe in those who served before them, and provided me with the comfortable life I lead.

Answer 2

I know every day I say thank you to someone in the service. I work on a military base. My husband is retired military. My daughter is engaged to a reservist. My son is currently serving in the middle east. I feel every day people should say thank you for serving out country and keeping us free. It is not just the miltary members that serve, but also there families. We are the ones who help pack up loves ones to send them to a far away place and sometimes we do not know if they will come back alive. It is scary and i know I do not put up with anyone talking bad about our men/women who are dying on forign ground. They are fighting to keep people free. Some say it is not our fight. If other countries do not intervein and we ignore them. It will move to our areas. IN WW1 they learned that. The US would not join in the fight to stop the spread of germany's army until US civilian ships were sunk 3 years into the war. We did not join WW2 until Pearl Harbor. it does not seem we starting activily fighting in the middle east until after 9/11. Does it take a loss of american lifes for others to step forward and fight? Think about that and you might remember why we have service member willing to fight in the middle east. It is to keep people ree to post without a fear of jail, death, etc. Want to thank you for reminding others of that. I know this is an area I have strong feelings about if you can tell

Answer 3

How Sweet.
We are a military family, and proud to have been.
We have been approached and thanked when that was the last thing on my mind. Scared me to death one day, when this young man came running up to me, and said would you tell your husband "Thanks for me." (Hubby was still in the car, had just let me out in front of Costco.) I said, "For what ??
He said, for serving in the military. I looked puzzled, he said I noticed your rear window sign "RETIRED U.S NAVY" Then he told me he was a military brat and that his Dad was being thanked a lot and how respected and appreciated his Dad felt.
That young man left us with the nicest warm feeling~~~jill
