Soldiers
I always wonder why some people protest or hate the soldiers who are fighting overseas right now. They cannot help it if they have to be in a war. I am a proud supporter of the soldiers, but I am not a supporter of the war. I don't like the idea of killing innocent people. When I go to the store, I see a soldier. I just walk right up to them and shake their hand. I thank them for their service. That is what a soldier wants....to feel like someone cares about him or her.
Soldiers are like celebrities to me. If I met a celebrity, I am not going to make a big deal about that. If I meet a soldier, I am meeting an important person. My good friend just left for Iraq a few days ago. I am really upset. I support the soldiers because it is my passion in life. When a soldier gets a letter, it is like water to them. They are thirsty for letters. I know my letters brightened the soldiers' days because I told them about my week. I included my embarrassing moments, too!
Readers, life is hard for the soldiers. Sure, they want to serve their country, but their life is messed up when they come home. It is hard for them to adjust to life. And, a simple thank you can make their day. I am not trying to tell you how to live your life, but here is some words of advice....thank a soldier...those simple words mean alot. Also, if you are a person who hates fighting, don't take it out on the soldier. It is not their fault. Remember, soldiers of the past wars fought for your freedom to protest and much more.
With the war, hopefully, coming to an end, thank a soldier. For, they are the true celebrities.
