Fw: All I ask is that you pass this on!

           WHEN A SOLDIER COMES  HOME
This email is being circulated around the world~~~please  keep it going

When a soldier comes home, he finds it  hard......to listen to his son whine about being bored.  

....to keep a straight  face when people complain about potholes.

To be tolerant of people  who complain about the hassle of getting ready for work.  

...to be understanding  when a co-worker complains about a bad night's sleep.  

..to be silent when  people pray to God for a new car.

....to control his panic  when his wife tells him he needs to drive slower.  

..to be compassionate  when a businessman expresses a fear of flying.  

....to keep from laughing  when anxious parents say they're afraid to send their kids off  to summer camp.

....to keep from  ridiculing someone who complains about hot weather.  

....to control his  frustration when a colleague gripes about his coffee being cold.  

....to remain calm when  his daughter complains about having to walk the dog.  

.....to be civil to  people who complain about their jobs.  


.....to just walk away  when someone says they only get two weeks of vacation a year.  

....to be forgiving when someone says how hard it is to have a new baby in the house.
     The only thing harder than being a Soldier...  

Is loving one.  

I was asked to pass this on and I will gladly do  so!! Will you???

No one has been able to  explain to me why young men and women serve in the
U.S.  Military for 20 years, risking their lives protecting freedom,  and only get
50% of their pay on retirement. While  Politicians hold their political positions
In the safe  confines of the capital, protected by these same men and women,  and
Receive full-pay retirement after serving one term. It  just does not make any sense.
