It is the soldier….

It is the Soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the Soldier, not the poet,
Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer,
Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the Soldier, not the lawyer,
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the Soldier, who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protestor to burn the flag.
Marine chaplain Father Dennis Edward O’Brien

There you have it. Sometimes other people are being recognized on what you’ve done. Anyway, you knew the truth behind it and it’s really good that you could help everyone.
I really appreciate those soldiers. It’s really a difficult task for them, their putting their lives in danger to a mission that may possibly be failed.
Being a soldier isn’t easy. Living your life in danger is not the life that everyone has been dreaming of. But just to serve on our country, they don’t mind any pains, homesick or even death.
My hubby is a soldier and it’s really hard for me t continue living at peace especially when I know that he’s in the middle of fight. I can’t help but cry.
We owe so much to these soldiers. They are the peace makers of the country. They deserved to be recognized.
I’m a soldier and I really appreciate your appraisal. Don’t worry we will do everything we can do, thanks for trusting us!
You have our good wishes and blessings. Keep up the great work…and kick ass when need be.
Government should pay much more attention to our soldiers. They must pay back every hardship they’ve been through.
Being a soldier is such a real life hero! I bow my heads to those dedicated soldiers!
