Good morning.

In the "I don't know what I'm talking about," department, it would be nice if someone put some ballad music to his poem.

Then again, what do I know?

Truth be told, most forums are glorified chat rooms, where it's mostly irrelevant blah blah, the rantings of various malcontents, personal vendettas by the banned, or other such nonsense. Taken all in all though, FR is relatively free of such lunacy and nastiness, and I think the military is well-supported here in many ways. But certainly we must remind ourselves every day, that while the MSM is bloviating, politicians are posturing, and internut clowns are frothing, our soldiers are putting their lives on the line. Thanks for the reminder...

Pinging for more exposure.

Please, FRiends, if you read this powerful poem, bump it so that more people may have a chance to read it.

Wow! Powerful stuff here.

Thank you so much for the ping, Ohio. Sure wish you had issued a tissue alert.....*sniff*

Gucho, thank you as well. I saw my name as I read through the thread and went ALLLLL the way back to last Friday and saw your ping to me. I am so sorry I missed it. When I get to my pings on Saturday, many are buried. I do not usually see my pings from Friday afternoon until late Saturday morning.

And why not tell our folks back home about the good we've done, how when they see Americans, the kids come at a run."

One of our wounded heroes went into great detail last night telling stories about this. He said the adults would run and hide, but the children ran, cheering, straight to our troops. He said the kids are great.

You're welcome Coop!

There was a great deal more to his story and he was a joy to listen to. This particular soldier doesn't come out much and he is quite shy. We went and sat away from everyone and he became very chatty and animated. It warmed my heart. (and made me very late getting home ;*))

Great idea!

Wondering if any of you nice Canteen folks could figure out a way to make MK's suggestion a reality (post #63.)
