as i was riding my bicycle today 
in the < 95 plus > degree heat 
in my shorts & tank top & running shoes.... 
only carrying myself, a small pack on my bike rack
and my bottle of water .... 
i suddenly stopped thinking of my own situation for long enough to think of our Sweet hard working Soldiers
who tackle weather ~ way worse than what i experience
and they do it carrying all kinds of extremely heavy gear 
and they do it with love and with a smile 
for those of you, who also are fatigued by the heat ,
or afflicted with other adversity in your lives....
please....think of this...
this is the ten day forecast for Baghdad Iraq..... 
[ Sat Jun 21 Sunny 111° 86° 0% 111°F Sun Jun 22 Sunny 111° 83° 0% 111°F Mon Jun 23 Sunny 110° 83° 0% 110°F Tue Jun 24 Sunny 108° 84° 0% 108°F Wed Jun 25 Sunny 109° 84° 0% 109°F Thu Jun 26 Sunny 110° 85° 0% 110°F Fri Jun 27 Sunny 112° 86° 0% 112°F Sat Jun 28 Sunny 112° 84° 0% 112°F Sun Jun 29 Sunny 108° 83° 0% 108°F So....now...
don't you think it is time
to again count our blessings ??? 
and thank God eternally for Our Beloved Troops 
who endure such adversity 
and extreme weather conditions
every day they are over there
during their extremely long tours of duty ...
Bless Them, Oh God...
Protect them every step of the way
and lighten their loads,
provide them with enough nourishing food,
& clean water , plenty of showers, clean clothes...
more hours for sleep  more rest & relaxation ,
way shorter tours and much shorter missions

Oh good, for a second there I thought this might be just another petty little whining post. Nice to see appreciation where it's due... of course let's not forget all the other people in the world with service jobs as well. Especially all those people that do the dirty jobs no one else wants to do!

I agree they have horrendous conditions and deserve our gratitude ..but how is it that you know they do it "with a smile"?
I find that odd..they march through the 110 degree heat smiling? |
