Just got this in an email last night, god bless the men and women fighting for our freedom! A large group of Taliban soldiers are moving down a road when they hear a voice call from behind a sand-dune say, "One Marine is better than ten Taliban." The Taliban commander quickly sends 10 of his best soldiers over the dune whereupon a gun-battle breaks out and continues for a few minutes, then silence. The voice then calls out, "One Marine is better than a hundred Taliban soldiers." Furious, the Taliban commander sends his next best 100 troops over the dune and instantly a huge gun fight commences. After 10 minutes of battle, again silence. The Marine voice calls out, "One Marine is better than one thousand Taliban." The enraged Taliban commander musters a thousand fighters and sends them over the dune. Cannon, rocket, and machine gun fire rings out as a huge battle is fought... then silence. Finally one wounded Taliban fighter crawls back over the dune and with his dying words tells his commander, "Don't send any more men, it's a trap. There are two of them."
I try to thank them personally when I see them. One night this past week my family was in a drive through at a fast food restaurant and noticed there were two men in their Army dress in the vehicle behind us. We paid for their meal and left a note for the worker to give to them that just said "Thanks for serving our country." It is little things like this that make me feel good and I know they appreciate it. Also helped to show my kids that we should thank and appreciate our men and women in uniform.
you men and women who serve may not get the appreciation you are supposed to back home and its a shame those folks are allowed to participate in our freedoms and liberties but once again thanx and god bless
I like stories like this. My dad was at a restaurant eating with a soldier and a group of people because he was getting deployed for his 3rd or 4th time. There were probably 14 or 15 people all eating on the same ticket, and somebody in the restaurant had already paid for their whole party when they went to pay. It was over $100
I thank you too. My family has served, every generation has. My great grandfather in WWI. Two of his sons in WWII, and my father in Vietnam, myself in the late 80's and early 90's, a brother and two cousins in the current wars (one with multiple tours). Enlisting is one of the best things a young man can do for himself, his family and his country. My family, every one of us, thank you for you daily dedication and service to the country that we love. Thank You!
