It cannot be repeated enough that one of "our boys" told a FReeper - was it you, Justanobody? - as he was brought in he could look out and see us through the window, and it gave a comforting lift to his spirits.
What they do is so heroic, it makes me feel so small. How do you ever say thank you? How can you ever do enough? Last Friday felt so good, not just because we bested the human detritus of Code Pinko, but because we could give that victory as a gift to our heroes.
*sniff* Time to go and make valentines for some very special people.
I just received a FReepmail with a question regarding this thread or I would not have seen your post.
I received 2 letters from Iraq today. I would like to share a sentence from each of these letters. Emphasis mine.
From a Army Combat Medic: "Thank you. You definitely helped motivate me by reminding me that someone cares."
From a Marine Lcpl: "A lot of people don't support us troops over here and it is just nice to know that there are still a few people that do."
I'll say it again, everyone could become a millionaire easily buying stock in tissues. There sure are a lot of them being used around here.
It's true. How do you say thank you to those soldiers for what they do. I am glad you and the others are there.
