| This is my Support page. Our troops are being sent to one of the worst places on our wonderful planet, and yet I haven't heard not one of them complain yet. The only thing I ever hear from any of the Navy guys is "Let's go kick a little a**" or "Saddam has just met his worst enemy". I have even heard a few of the guys who are married say that they would rather go over there and fight it out now, than to be at work one day and see on TV, that their neighborhood with their wife and children has just been destroyed. Our guys are ready! They are itchin to get this started and to get this finished. Why? So that we don't have to worry about bombs in our streets, and our freedom getting taken away! Now...For all of those out there who are being SELFISH and protesting against the war....Stop and ask yourself this: Would you rather for our guys to go over there now..or for their guys to come over here later? Being a navy wife, I know the fear of possible having my husband sent over there...and it scares the mess outta me...but I know its for the best..and I pray that the Lord brings him home soon..unharmed. Military wives are strong! Sometimes I think we are some of the strongest women out there! We know the pain of being left..but
we also know the joy of when they
return. SO Guys and Girls in the Armed Forces, I SALUTE you! Go
"kick a little a**" and then come back home to us
and live in the freedom you just defended! Be Careful and God Bless! ~Angel_Eyez~ and Family |

| Ya know...I read a story the other day and it made me realize something; when the guys and girls are over there fighting...they are all alone. No family...and in many cases no friends. But many of them have something to hold on to as told in that story but many of them don't. Before your brother, or sister, or son, or daughter, or husband, or wife, or cousin, or friend leaves...make sure that they KNOW you love them. Don't let them leave with any regrets or any words unspoken. Resolve all issues, no matter how big or small, before they leave because you never know when you'll see them again. I am going to put that story below for all to read...its so touching but after you read it you may wonder why in the world I would put that on a support page...well its mainly to remind everyone to show their love and support before their loved ones leave because it may be too late afterwards. Its a harsh reality but its something we all have to face. |

| One day a teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name. The she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down. It took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed in their papers. That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, then listed what everyone else had said about that individual. On Monday, she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling. "Really?" she heard whispered. "I never knew I meant anything to anyone!" and, "I didn't know other liked me so much." were most of the comments. No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. She never knew if they discussed them after class or with their parents, but it didn't matter. The exercise had accomplished its purpose. The students were happy with themselves and one another. That group of students moved on. Several years later, one of the students was killed in Vietnam and his teacher attended the funeral of that special student. She had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before. He looked so handsome, so mature. The church was packed with his friends. One by one those who loved him took a last walk by the coffin. The teacher was the last one to bless the coffin. As she stood there, one of the soldiers who acted as a pallbearer came up to her. "Were you Mark's math teacher?" he asked. She nodded: "yes." Then he said: "Mark talked about you a lot." After the funeral, most of Mark's former classmates went together to a luncheon. Mark's mother and father were there, obviously waiting to speak with his teacher. "We want to show you something," his father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket. "They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might recognize it." Opening the billfold, he carefully removed two torn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times. The teacher knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which she had listed all the good things each of Mark's classmates had said about him. "Thanks you so much for doing that," Mark's mother said. "As you can see, Mark treasured it." All Mark's former classmates started to gather around. Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said, "I still have my list. It's in the top drawer of my desk at home." Chuck's wife said, "Chuck asked me to put his in our wedding album." "I have mine too," Marilyn said. "It's in my diary." Then Vicki, another classmate, reaching into her pocketbook, took out her wallet and showed her worn and frazzled list to the group. "I carry this with me at all times," Vicki said and without batting an eyelash, she continues: "I think we all saved our lists." That's when the teacher finally sat down and cried for Mark and for all his friends who would never see him again. |
