Army soldier in Iraq with his tiny 'plot' of grass in front of his tent. It's heartwarming! Here is a soldier stationed in Iraq , stationed in a big sand box. He asked his wife to send him dirt ( U.S. soil), fertilizer, and some grass seed so that he can have the sweet aroma, and feel the grass grow beneath his feet. When the men of the squadron have a mission that they are going on, they take turns walking through the grass and the American soil -- to bring them good luck. If you notice, he is even cutting the grass with a pair of a scissors. Sometimes we are in such a hurry that we don't stop and think about the little things that we take for granted. Say a little prayer for our troops that give and give (and give up) so unselfishly for us.

 

Thats missin home for sure right there now.. dang.. Thank God for our soldiers! They have the most thankless job in the world for sure!

 

Here's to our servicemen & women:

 

That means a lot to have yall say little things like that. It really starts to get to you when you see all the negative liberal media bull$hi* on TV

I know what you mean Jon, I was stuck at Kadena in Okinawa, Japan for two years and I hated that place. I miss KY too, the part of TN I'm from is real close to there and VA, we used to go party up in the mountains in Harlan county KY and up around Black Mountain if you know where that is.
