Bed a little lumpy?
Toss and turn a little?
Wish it weren't so hot?
Had to go to the John?
Count your blessings, pray for them,
Talk to your Creator and the next time when...
the other car cuts you off and you must hit the brakes, or you have to park a little further from Wal-Mart than you want to be, or you're served slightly warm food at the restaurant, or you're sitting and cursing the traffic in front of you, or the shower runs out of hot water,
Think of them... Protecting your freedom!
Message from Iraq
The proud warriors of Baker Company wanted to do something to pay tribute to our fallen comrades. So since we are part of the only Marine Infantry Battalion left in Iraq the one way that we could think of doing that is by taking a picture of Baker Company saying the way we feel. It would be awesome if you could find a way to share this with our fellow countrymen. I was wondering if there was any way to get this into your papers to let the world know that "WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN" and are proud to serve our country." Semper Fi 1st Sgt Dave Jobe
God Bless our Troops!
Hooah!
(Where's my kleenex?)
Great post! And I was going to give it a pass as yet another vanity post, glad I didn't!
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS! THANK YOU FOR PROTECTING US!
Sgt. Dave and members of Baker Company, may God bless you with blessings far more numerous and wonderful than you can imagine. You are our heroes! We love you, and yes, we need to see those pictures!! Thank you for laying down your lives for us!!!! May the angels of the Lord surround you and keep you safe until that glorious day when you come home. God bless you! God bless America!

Doggone it, I was about to launch into a tirade about my crappy sleep and then you go and post these pics. I guess I slept great.
Thanks for the reminder.
Well that does it. I won't complain about my back from my mattress again! God bless all our troops!
Wow, those are almost as bad as the accommodations at Club Gitmo. But since Gitmo is Dachau, Auschwitz, and the Gulag archipelago all rolled into one, Gitmo must be worse.
Prayers needed for Baker Company and Sgt. Dave, plus all of our troops!
Thank you,
I needed the reminder.
God Bless our Troops (and thank you!)
Doggonit, Heels, I must be channeling you. It's been pretty hot and muggy here in St. Louis for a number of days. I was kind of grumbling under my breath this morning and then thought to myself, think of them in Iraq, in all that gear. Shut up and remember how greatful you are and how hard it is for them. God bless them. Kill the bustards and come home to a welcoming, grateful nation.
(Great Post,Hi Heels !!);)
A "post that puts things into perspective" bump.
God bless those brave troops...
God bless those American's!!!
Thanks! Couldn't get that last pic to load. To everyone: I'm just the messenger. This is posted pretty much as received. HH
