| All The Whey Nutrition Board Sponsor  | Remember this on Nov. 11th!!! Your alarm goes off, you hit the snooze and sleep for another 10 minutes. He stays up for days on end. _________________________ You take a warm shower to help you wake up. He goes days or weeks without running water. __________________________ You complain of a "headache", and call in sick. He gets shot at as others are hit, and keeps moving forward. __________________________ You put on your anti war/don't support the troops shirt, and go meet up with your friends. He still fights for your right to wear that shirt. __________________________ You make sure you're cell phone is in your pocket. He clutches the cross hanging on his chain next to his dog tags. __________________________ You talk trash about your "buddies" that aren't with you. He knows he may not see some of his buddies again. __________________________ You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls. He walks the streets, searching for insurgents and terrorists. __________________________ You complain about how hot it is. He wears his heavy gear, not daring to take off his helmet to wipe his brow. __________________________ You go out to lunch, and complain because the restaurant got your order wrong. He doesn't get to eat today. __________________________ Your maid makes your bed and washes your clothes. He wears the same things for weeks, but makes sure his weapons are clean. __________________________ You go to the mall and get your hair redone. He doesn't have time to brush his teeth today. __________________________ You're angry because your class ran 5 minutes over. He's told he will be held over an extra 2 months. __________________________ You call your girlfriend and set a date for tonight. He waits for the mail to see if there is a letter from home. __________________________ You hug and kiss your girlfriend, like you do everyday. He holds his letter close and smells his love's perfume. __________________________ You roll your eyes as a baby cries. He gets a letter with pictures of his new child, and wonders if they'll ever meet __________________________ You criticize your government, and say that war never solves anything. He sees the innocent tortured and killed by their own people and remembers why he is fighting. __________________________ You hear the jokes about the war, and make fun of men like him. He hears the gunfire, bombs and screams of the wounded. __________________________ You see only what the media wants you to see. He sees the broken bodies lying around him. __________________________ You are asked to go to the store by your parents. You don't. He does exactly what he is told. __________________________ You stay at home and watch TV. He takes whatever time he is given to call, write home, sleep, and eat. __________________________ You crawl into your soft bed, with down pillows, and get comfortable. He crawls under a tank for shade and a 5 minute nap, only to be woken by gunfire. __________________________ You sit there and judge him, saying the world is probably a worse place because of men like him. If only there were more men like him! If you support your troops, re-send this to everyone you know, If it gets to another veteran who hasn't received it yet, it will bring back memories. Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American G. I. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom Please remember our soldiers and veterans on November 11th!! Matt To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 0 or greater.

| TCP™ Puttin' the P back in Pimp Board Moderator  | Amen! Our brothers and sisters making sacrifices! A wise man said: Once you come ashore you will have a renewed appreciation for the simple things and find a joy that may have been missed, overlooked or otherwise unappreciated before. You will be a greater witness to those who will need you when they are a drift in that sea. "I don't need no one to tell me about heaven, I look at my daughter, and I believe." |

| Snuggle Club™ mascot  | Nice. No one can be a great thinker who does not recognize that as a thinker it is his first duty to follow his intellect to whatever conclusions it may lead. Truth gains more even by the errors of one who, with due study, and preparation, thinks for himself, than by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to think. |

| RPN Athlete/REP  | Having lived all of those things on the military side, even being that guy that got hit, I can honestly say I would do it again in a heartbeat if I was physically able to. Jason |

| All The Whey Nutrition Board Sponsor | I posted the "Nov 11th" thread on another forum website..... ...check out the reply from this guy: *"All the troops from the revolutionary war are dead. Nobody alive has ever died for my freedom thank you very much. "* ....he's correct...no one ALIVE has DIED for his freedom.... My reply: That's right up there with other classic lines like this: Shooter McGavin: I eat pieces of S**t like you for breakfast. Happy Gilmore: [laughing] you eat pieces of S**t for breakfast? Shooter McGavin: No... I... Matt To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 0 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
