is 19 years. He is a short
haired, tight-muscled kid who, under normal circumstances is
considered by society as half man, half boy. Not yet dry
behind the ears, not old enough to buy a beer, but old enough
to die for his country. He never really cared much for work
and he would rather re-wax his own car than wash his
father's; but he has never collected unemployment either.
He's a recent High
School graduate;
pursued some form of sport
activities,
drives a ten year old
jalopy,
And has a steady
girlfriend
that either broke up with
him when he left,
or swears to be waiting
when he returns from half a world away.
He listens to rock and
roll or hip-hop or rap or jazz or swing
and a 155mm howitzer.
He is 10 or 15 pounds
lighter now than when he was at home
because he is working or
fighting from before dawn to well after dusk.
He has trouble spelling,
thus letter writing is a
pain for him,
but he can field strip a
rifle in 30 seconds
and reassemble it in less
time in the dark.
He can recite to you the
nomenclature of a machine gun or grenade launcher,
and use either one
effectively if he must.
He digs foxholes and
latrines
and can apply first
aid like a professional.
He can march until he is
told to stop
or stop until he
is told to march.
He obeys orders
instantly and without hesitation,
but he
is not without spirit or individual dignity.
He is
self-sufficient.
he has two
sets of fatigues:
he washes one and
wears the other.
he keeps
his canteens full and his feet dry.
He can cook his own
meals, mend his own clothes, and fix his own hurts.
If you're thirsty, he'll
share his water with you; if you are hungry, his food.
He'll even split his
ammunition with you in the midst of battle when you run low!
He has learned to use
his hands like weapons and weapons like they were his hands.
He can
save your life - or take it,
because that is his job.
He will often do twice
the work of a civilian ,
draw
half the pay
and still find ironic
humor in it all.
He has seen more
suffering and death then he should have in his short
lifetime.
He has stood atop
mountains of dead bodies,
and
helped to create them.
He has wept in public
and in private,
for friends who
have fallen in combat and is unashamed.
He feels every note of
the National Anthem vibrate through his body
while at rigid attention,
while tempering
the burning desire to 'square-away'
those around him
who haven't
bothered to stand, remove their hat, or even stop talking
In an odd twist, day in
and day out, far from home, he defends their right to be
disrespectful.
Just as did his
Father, Grandfather,
and
Great-grandfather,
he is paying the
price for our freedom.
Beardless
or not, he is not a boy!
He
is the American Fighting Man
that has
kept this country free for over 200 years.
He has asked nothing in
return,
except our friendship
and understanding.
Remember
him, always,
for he has
earned our respect
and admiration
with his blood.
And
now we even have women over there in danger,
doing their part in this
tradition of going to War when our nation calls us to do so.
As you go to bed
tonight,
remember this
shot..
A short lull, a little
shade
and a picture of loved ones
in their helmets

Prayer
wheel for our military... please don't break it.
Please
email this to others, after a short prayer.
Prayer
Wheel
"Lord, hold our
troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect
us.
Bless them and their
families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our
time of need. Amen."
When
you read this,
please stop for a
moment and say a prayer for our ground troops in
Afghanistan and Iraq, sailors on ships, and airmen in the
air.
There is nothing
attached....
This can be very
powerful.......
Of all the gifts you
could give a US Soldier, Sailor, Coastguardsman, Marine
or Airman, prayer is the very best one.
