Damn....I sure hope her daddy gets home....muzzie bastards

War is hell...one thing Sherman and I would have agreed on. You are never the same after such tragedy..the pain always comes back ready to sting again...Prevailing over evil has a high price and sometimes our most precious and vulnerable must bear it.

I'm just trying to be a father,
Raise a daughter and a son,
Be a lover to their mother,
Everything to everyone.
Up and at ‘em bright and early,
I'm all business in my suit,
Yeah, I'm dressed up for success from my head down to my boots,
I don't do it for the money, there's bills that I can't pay,
I don't do it for the glory, I just do it anyway,
Providing for our future's my responsibility,
Yeah I'm real good under pressure, being all that I can be,
And I can't call in sick on Mondays when the weekend's been too strong,
I just work straight through the holidays,
And sometimes all night long.
You can bet that I stand ready when the wolf growls at the door,
Hey, I'm solid, hey I'm steady, hey I'm true down to the core,
And I will always do my duty, no matter what the price,
I've counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice,
Oh, and I don't want to die for you,
But if dying’s asked of me,
I'll bear that cross with honor,
‘Cause freedom don't come free.
I'm an American soldier, an American,
Beside my brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand,
When liberty's in jeopardy I will always do what's right,
I'm out here on the front lines, sleep in peace tonight.
American soldier, I'm an American,
An American,
An American Soldier

Extra tough to see this for those of us who have had to hold crying kiddos (up through teenage years) as we watch Dad in formation, readying to go to the sandbox for multiple tours. We would all like to be out there holding Dad’s hand. Great photo if it makes people stop and think about the sacrifice. I just hope my kids don’t see it.

A big thank you to everyone who has or is or will serve our country, making sacrifices that the rest do not.

(Now, excuse me, I’m going to grab a tissue)

Here's one I took in my hometown on July 4th. It wasn't the best quality picture I took that day but it's still one of my favorites.



I'm guessing the little soldier is marching with Grampa.

Someone send the pic to that assh*** Michelle so she can learn what “sacrifice” is about and think twice before she uses that word again about herself getting treated like a queen.

I don’t remember the goodbye’s as much as the homecomings. My mom made up a song for my brother and I to the tune of “She’ll be coming around the mountain” only we sang, “He’ll be coming on a ship when he comes...”
