Awe...thanks so much for saying: "...God bless those men and women who fought back and God bless the men and women in uniform who spend their lives keeping us safe, both here and abroad. You are loved and truly appreciated..."
As a soldier I hear waaaay too often how much the war sucks (naw, really???) and how Bush is an idiot and how wah wah wah Iife is so hard. You know what? Get up every day before the sun comes up, run 4 miles, come home, shower, put on the uniform, THEN go to work for 8 hours and wonder when you're going to be selected to spend a year in the big, hot, litter box. After that, THEN you can tell me how bad everything is.
What's harder to believe is the media who keeps saying that morale is low amoung military members...WHAT??? Sure, there are a few complainers, but that's true with any job. Most of us LOVE our country and feel nothing but pride when we look down at the flags on our arms. As for me...I think I have the best job in the world. All of my nephews think I am THE coolest Aunt on the planet...one even has a set of my dog tags on his bed post.
So, if you know anyone who spends even two seconds of his day feeling sorry for soldiers...tell him Specialist [Anonymous] sends him a flying raspberry. I willingly signed my name on the dotted line, bucko...I will take your support but never your pity.

It is the soldier who serves the flag, who bleeds for it, who is buried beneath it so you can have the right to spit on it.
Her signature line is just awesome. I love it. Thanks again for such a great note and for keeping us free!
