In tribute to our soldiers, these unsung heroes!
Your alarm clock rings, you press the button and sleep another ten minutes; It will remain awake several days in a row.
* *
You take a hot shower to help you start your day off right; It will be days without running water.
* *
You complain of a headache and call in sick work;
It is shot while others are injured, it continues anyway.
* *
You put your jersey anti-war protest and does not support our troops
and join your friends at the brewery;
He continues to fight for your right to put this sweater.
* *
You make sure your cell phone is based;
It clings to the suspended cross with his dog tag.
* *
You hold all sorts of comments on your colleagues who are not with you;
He knows it will review perhaps never friends.
* *
You walk on the beach watching the pretty girls;
He walks the streets in search of insurgents or terrorists.
* *
You complain of oppressive heat that is outside;
It bears his combat gear and fears to remove his steel helmet even wiping his forehead.
* *
You're angry because you are used in class 5 minutes longer;
He comes to learn that remain two months.
You will dine with friends and you complain that there is an error with your order;
It will not have the opportunity to eat today.
* *
The woman will make your bed and your laundry;
It will bear the same clothes for weeks but will ensure that its weapons are always cleaned.
* *
You go to the barber to the mall;
. It can not brush their teeth today.
* *
You call your new conquest and agree to an appointment for this evening;
He patiently awaits the mail to see if he will receive a letter from his beloved.
* *
You do kiss and hug your tender half as each day;
It takes very strong feeling in his letters on its sweet fragrance.
* *
You are exasperated crying of a baby;
He receives a letter with pictures of his new baby and wondered if they meet one day.
* *
You criticize your government shouting loud and clear that war does nothing;
He sees the innocent tortured and killed by the people and remembers why he fights.
* *
You hear jokes about the war and you care about others like him;
He heard gunfire, bombs and screams of the wounded.
You do not see what the media want to show you;
He sees the bodies on the floor around him.
* *
Your parents ask you to go to a race at the supermarket, you do not go out;
It does exactly what is requested.
* *
You stay at home to watch TV;
It takes time it can to call or write home,
sleep and eat if he has more time.
* *
You lie in a soft bed with fluffy pillows and are comfortable
It goes down in an armored vehicle for a little shade for a nap some
minutes to be interrupted by gunfire.
There are only two forces that have offered to die for you: Jesus Christ and the soldier.
One died to save your soul, the other for your freedom.
