Military Inspirational Emails

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS

You stay up for 16 hours. We stay up for days on end.

You take a warm shower to help u wake up. We go weeks without running water.

You complain of a 'headache' and call in sick. We get shot at, as others are hit, and we keep moving forward.

You talk about your buddies that aren't with u. We know we may never see any of ours ever again.

 You complain about how hot it is. We wear our heavy gear, not daring to take off our helmet to wipe our forehead.

You get mad at the waiter for getting your order wrong.  we don't get to eat today.
You're mad that your class got held 5 minutes over. We're told we will be held over an extra 2 months.

You roll your eyes when your baby cries. He gets a letter with pictures of his new baby, and wonders if they'll ever meet.

If you don’t forward this, nothing bad will happen to u, we will just see how conceited u really are. Fwd if you support the troops.


ANN MARGRET


Viet Nam 1966  

Richard,(my husband), never really talked a lot about his time in Viet Nam, other than he had been shot by a sniper. However, he had a rather grainy, 8x10 black and white photo he had taken at a USO show of Ann Margret with Bob Hope in the background that was one of his treasures.

A few years ago, Ann Margret was doing a book signing at a local bookstore. Richard wanted to see if he could get her to sign the treasured photo so he arrived at the bookstore at 12 o'clock for the 7:30 signing.

When I got there after work, the line went all the way around the bookstore, circled the parking lot, and disappeared behind a parking garage Before her appearance, bookstore employees announced that she would sign only her book and no memorabilia would be permitted.  

Richard  was disappointed, but wanted to show her the photo and let her know how much those shows meant to lonely GI's so far from home.. Ann Margret came out looking as beautiful as ever and, as second in line, it was soon Richard's turn.

He presented the book for her signature and then took out the photo. When he did, there were many shouts from the employees that she would not sign it. Richard said, 'I understand. I just wanted her to see it.'

She took one look at the photo,  tears welled up in her eyes and she said, 'This is one of my  gentlemen from   Viet Nam and I most certainly will sign his photo. I know what these men did for their country and I always have time for 'my gentlemen.'' 



With that, she pulled Richard across the table and planted a big kiss on him. She then made  quite a to-do about the bravery of  the young men she met over the years, how much she admired them, and how much she appreciated them. There weren't too many dry eyes among those close enough to  hear. She then posed for pictures and acted as if he were the only one there.

Later at dinner, Richard was very quiet. When I asked if he'd like to talk about it, my big, strong husband broke down in tears.. 'That's the first  time anyone ever thanked me for my time in the Army,' he said.

That night was a turning point for him. He walked a little  straighter and, for the first time in years, was proud to have been a Vet. I'll never forget Ann Margret for her graciousness and how much that small act of kindness meant to my husband. 


I now make it a point to say 'Thank you' to every person I come across who served in our Armed Forces.. Freedom does not come cheap and I am grateful for all those who have served their country.
  

IF YOU DON'T STAND BEHIND OUR TROOPS, PLEASE,  FEEL FREE TO STAND IN FRONT OF THEM!

Isn't life strange?
 I never met one Veteran who enlisted to fight for Socialism,
86% will send this on.


I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG,
OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
,
AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS,
ONE NATION UNDER GOD,
INDIVISIBLE, WITH
LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!

If Muslims can pray on the street of
Madison Avenue, NY , why are Christians banned from praying in public and erecting religious displays on their holy days?
I was asked to send this on if I agree, or delete if I don't.
It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a problem in having 'In God! We Trust' on our money and having 'God' in the Pledge of Allegiance.

I believe it's time we stand up for what we believe! If you agree, pass this on, if not, delete.
