Thanklessful

* They travel miles in the heat.
* They risk their lives crossing a border.
* They don't get paid enough wages.
* They do jobs that others won't do or are afraid to do.
* They live in crowded conditions among a people who speak a different language.
* They rarely see their families, and they face adversity all day every day.

I'm not talking about immigrants; I'm talking about our troops!

Serving in the United States Armed Forces is a thankless job. Let's change that. Thank a Veteran today.

"God, be with the men and women of our armed forces as they continue to serve in dangerous places around the world, protecting the freedoms we enjoy in this country. Give them strength as they march into harms way, protect their families who anxiously wait for them to return, and give comfort to those whose have lost loved ones. Amen."

Thank you Bret for taking the time to serve in the Air Force. Special people like you allow the rest of us the enjoyment of freedom.
