Your best post ever logan

 

Just got back in from putting my flag out, I have a light shining on it too. Saturday morning our HOA puts out a flag in every house front yard. I never have got into the small flag they put out so I fly a 7x4 on the front of my house on the 4th of July and Memorial day.

 

Short and to the point.

 

alot of times we forget what it actually takes to make this country free......


its walking by the memorial wall every morning on my way to work.....

its spent .50 cal rounds in the floorboards of the Humvee's i fix.....

its hearing every soldier no matter age or rank call you sir.....

its the thousand yard stare i see in alot of the eyes of our soldiers......

its the Humvee we have to rebuild cause it hit an IED but thanks to its up armor some good soldiers walked away.....

its seeing soldiers tremble when they walk by the models of IED's and UXO's going into the DFAC.....

its huddled in a concrete bunker as rockets hit your camp.....

its seeing tombstones at arlington for soldiers that are younger than me.....

its watching a convoy prepare for a mission and whispering "may god be with them" as you see them start to roll out past the wire.....



remember these are you start your day............
