If Everyone Cared

If Everyone Cared by Nickelback, is the song that comes to mind when I see people showing a lack of respect for our veterans who gave up years of their lives so we could be free, and watched their friends die in their hands. Those cold, long, miserable nights spent with their buddies in foxholes, the ones they shared stories with, the ones they shed tears and blood with, the ones they shared photos of their families with, the ones they trained with and became best friends with. The hell they went through only to survive and come back the states and sometimes to come back home only to receive criticism for what they did, or should I say what they had to do! When your in the Army trying to figure out a career and get some training, a war breaks out, and your told what to do - to be patriotic and a good man, you do what your told. For those of you who do not care, get the F out of my country and don't you ever dare come back! You do not belong here if you have a complete lack of respect for our veterans.

A man like me only wishes I could have served my country, but very bad ears and ADHD kept me out of the Army and the Marine Corps. Its people like me who dream about it, think about it, play the video games, write these blogs, and write the books. We are the loyal fans to our country and its troops who defend it. You bust your ass for us, and we love you for that. Thank you!

Special Thanks goes out to the all the men who served in WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Persian Gulf, Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere. You're not alone!

Noteables: Major Dick Winters, Bill Guarnere, Babe Heffron, Don Malarkey, Shifty Powers, Ronald Speirs, Thomas Meehan, Jack Foley, Buck Compton, Don Hoobler, all of you - I cant say it enough - Thank you!

~Peace~
