From my brother Jake

I was asked to pass this on and I will gladly do so.
WHEN A SOLDIER COMES HOME
This email is being circulated around the world – please keep it going


When a soldier comes home, he finds it hard….

..to listen to his son whine about being bored.

….to keep a straight face when people complain about potholes.

to be tolerant of people who complain about the hassle of getting ready for work.

…to be understanding when a co-worker complains about a bad night’s sleep.

..to be silent when people pray to God for a new car.
Image removed by sender.
…to control his panic when his wife tells him he needs to drive slower.

..to be compassionate when a businessman expresses a fear of flying.


….to keep from laughing when anxious parents say they’re afraid to send their kids off to summer camp..


….to keep from ridiculing someone who complains about hot weather.


….to control his frustration when a colleague gripes about his coffee being cold.


….to remain calm when his daughter complains about having to walk the dog.


……to be civil to people who complain about their jobs.


….to just walk away when someone says they only get two weeks of vacation a year.


….to be forgiving when someone says how hard it is to have a new baby in the house.

The only thing harder than being a Soldier..


Is loving one.

I was asked to pass this on and I will gladly do so,
Will you???

    Hardened old bastard that I am, that put a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye.

    Kudos to the youngster. Let’s see how many get the message.

    I personally have high hopes for the month of July.

    I Love It If the sorry a$$ B@$ta$tard$ we have elected don’t wake up and pay attention we will begin the third American Revolution without them, and they will must likely be on the wrong side of it.

    Oh, they will be on the wrong side. And they will lose. It will be a mess, unless the people sworn to support and defend the Constitution clean it up. It doesn’t HAVE to happen, it just needs awakening on the part of those that would harm this nation.

    I have received this e-mail many times, and many times I have passed it on. I have passed it on in duplicate to those who have forgotten about 9/11, and Khobar, and USS Cole, and Beirut, and Mogadishu, and Tehran….

    And will continue to do so.

    I’ve got to cherry it up and get the pictures where they’re supposed to be.
