I agree with you about our American so...Hi Brenda,<br /><br />I agree with you about our American soldiers giving their lives for our freedom being American heros -- yet, rarely, if ever, a mention in the media. Instead, so much time is wasted on the latest celebrity "scandal" or hollywood story -- ugh. If only they would spend a little time telling us the stories of these true American heros, it would give everyone an opportunity to better appreciate these young men and women and show the things that are truly important in life.<br /><br />I was touched by your story and I just wanted to let you know that and also how much I appreciate your service. I am an Army brat; my father was a career officer until his retirement. He served in Vietnam; coincidentally, my husband served in Vietnam as well although he was drafted. <br /><br />I wore a POW/MIA bracelet for several years in the late 60s/early 70s. I still have that bracelet today. The silver on the inside has worn off from all of the wear, but I have always treasured having that through all these years. <br /><br />Growing up on Army bases/posts, I was instilled at an early age with so many patriotic values. It is a totally different world than the civilian life I live now. I carry those treasured childhood memories with me every day and fly my flag with pride. I am thankful for the opportunities afforded to me and what I learned from living the Army life [if only as a child].<br /><br />Bless you for your kindness and thoughtfulness. You are an inspiration. Please be careful wherever you are and take care.<br /><br />Respectfully,<br />Lisa<br />Louisiana, USAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
