please remember our military...

I was reminded the other day by a video that is surfing the email chain...how our soldiers are in danger everyday that they are in Iraq and Afghanistan. They were talking about how water boarding is inhumane...however the video was how inhumane our soldiers are treated when they are captured...this video was so graphic that it made me cry while I watched with horror...and I immediately felt that I needed to prayer for these soldiers families--for they will never see these men again. These soldiers were burned alive! And then some men and women who sit in our Government have the nerve to even say that water boarding is inhumane?? Hello...our PO W's that are captured are probably so happy to be captured because they are treated as if they are in some 4 star hotel...3 meals a day...showers, etc. After I cried--my emotions turned to anger! How can someone else do these horrible things to another person??

Bottom line folks--whether you believe in war or not...our soldiers are over there fighting for our freedoms...our freedom of speech, freedom of religion--we have so many freedoms in this country we are spoiled with them. I feel that our government is slowly taking our freedoms away from us. My father was in the Army and I am very proud of him. He is the finest man on this green earth.

I know that I personally walk up to a soldier that I see whether in a restaurant, a mall or even goodwill (where I shop quite often) and tell them that I am proud of them and thank you for all your service to our country. I wish more people would be like me and do this...it really is such a simple thing to do--take time to thank someone for their service...it will make them smile and feel good. Our military is the best in the world--but then again I am coming from a family where my Dad was in the Army.

Enjoy this YouTube video made by Lizzy Palmer--it really makes you think.
