to the families of Soldiers

**ravenmoonmother** · 08-13-2008, 03:35 PM

I was listening to the song "American Soldier" by Tobey Keith and it made me think of all those people fighting wars today and of people like my grandads who fought in the world wars.
I dont know any service people (my grandads both having died), and i cant say i will ever know what its like for you and your families, but i just wanted to say how much i admire you.
I hope you dont mind my saying it as i truly know nothing of how life is for you but i admire someone who believes in something so strongly they are willing to fight for it, and i admire those of you who have to sit and wait for you soldiers to return.
Im not sure why im writing this, i just felt i had to thank you and your soldiers for the sacrifices you make.
I hope all your soldiers return safely.

I want to say thank you for you kind thoughts. I dont know if I could explain to you what its like to be a service family. If you dont live it then you can not really understand it. I do want to say that we appreciate all the kind thoughts that we receive.

Thank you. I love that song. My nephew is in Iraq.

Today I went to the funeral home for the son of our dear friends. He died Aug 4 in Iraq. He was with the military police. He was also a Fire Captain back here at home. His funeral will be huge with both military and fire dept. The honors bestowed on him was awesome. Funeral is Fri.

My nephew is like my son, and I miss him so. We worry constantly.
My heart goes out to all with family and friends in Iraq.

Thank you again for your kind thoughts.
