The words of support.
American Soldier says,
I received the following message tonight and it really meant alot. I have withheld his name but his message speaks much support for my fellow warriors and me.
I have never been in the trenches, literally, as you. I have never been in the desolate desert. I have been over seas and alone in a nation that did not know me or want me. I have been alone and scared without brother or sister to keep me company. But I have never been where you are. I am past the age of serving my country in the manner that you do. As each day passes, I can\’t help but think what I would give to switch places with you. Here in America, in our homeland, I see faces every day that take for granted what it is that you fight for. YOU fight for US. You fight for the the basic undeniable freedom that I DO NOT take for granted. I would swap places with you but that is not my calling. My calling is to be here as a citizen of this great country that you defend. If the tables were turned and I were in your position, I would want to hear this. You make me proud. Every story I hear about the sacrifice you pay makes me cry. This is not some propaganda bullshit or some news story gone bad…I am an American citizen that looks to my God above thanking every free breath that I get to take because of men and women like you. I am a member of the freedom loving groups and an active member of my local community. My son is developing…hopefully into the freedom loving, God blessed man that you are. THANK YOU, THANK YOU< THANK YOU!!!
I love you all. There is never a day that goes by that I do not stop and think about the sacrifice that you make. Look me up when you get back..Sincerely your brother in freedom

Wish I had said that, but I didn’t. It explains my thoughts. It should be the thoughts of all Americans.
Ditto that. I’m not very eloquent a lot of times - so much I want to say, that so often I just can’t find the words for. Yep - this email totally sums it up tho.
This is right on the mark. It states what I feel everyday but never knew how to put into words. Thanks for sharing.
Could not have said it any better than that
AS
What a great letter to recieve. Yes there are too many people out there that take thier freedoms for granted, not remembering who or what was sacrificed for all of us to have them. All I can say is…to all our soldiers serving your great country and mine Thank You so very much…
Wonderful sentiment….and I am sure he speaks for many unable to express such depth thru mere words.
Thank you “Brother in FREEDOM”!!!
Yer intent has Energized. We can all appreciate tht!
Wow. I have nothing to say. This was amazing.
Sincerely,
miranda hickey
Thank you Brother for saying what we are feeling! We love you AS.
I agree. Well said.
It’s good to hear it.. just wish I believed it sometimes. Hard to when you look around and see all that is here.. actions speak louder than words.. and that has been the hardest part about adjusting to being home.
People go on about their days as they always have.. and I realize that that makes perfect sense. In a way.. that’s what I wanted.. but to see them doing it.. people clueless and oblivious.. is infuriating at times. And knowing that some of my buddies won’t ever be the same.. and some won’t ever come back.. makes me bitter… but let me not hijack this thread.
Thanks for your comments.. and your support.. it let’s us know that not all want to be clueless.
AS, I ditto what this gentlemen said. I am grateful to my soul for you and men and women like you and their families that stand behind them. Thank you.
Army Girl, if you’re ever down in Bisbee let me know. I’m one of your supporters.

I strongly agree,
It goes along with the saying, some people can not see the forest
for the trees
