Thank the American Soldier It was my Father, Husband (now ex#1) and boyfriends that got sent to War in my youth. Now it's my and Niece. The of my Youth. The Soldiers of my era were treated with less than respect. We need not make that same mistake with our . My Sister called me on the phone crying when she found out that her joined the Army. My Niece was sent to Bosnia and later Iraq. I was not surprise when my opted to join the Navy. He wanted to be a Nuclear Tech so he had to enlist for six years. My Niece's went to live with his grandmother because both his parents were sent to War. My was in the Persian Gulf at least twice. My looked at the Navy as a Door to his Educational Goals. He wanted to go to Berkley University. He fell in love with a Peach so he's going to Georgia Tech instead. Yesterday, a Young Woman and a Young Man both in Uniform came into the store. I rang up thier purchases and Thanked them for the their service to Our Country. The United States would be screwed without a strong defense. Abracadabra  |

We owe all of our freedoms to soldiers everywhere who risk their lives. No matter what reason they have joined, they deserve our utmost respect and gratitude.Many of them are losing their lives, and families are hurting.They should have our continued support, no matter how we feel about how our country is being run.Yes, they are young sons and daughters, relatives, friends and neighbors.Most of all they are our "backbone". Let us not forget. Like you can take da girl outta Pittsburgh, but don't even try to take Pittsburgh outta da girl
