Good morning all. First I want to apologize for the earlier post with all the codes in it. That was not sent from me. A long story but no need to tell that one now. I returned home last evening and I want you to know Matthew is doing so much better. He will be transferred home later in the week. I have no words that can convey my feelings towards those of you who have kept Matthew and I in your thoughts and prayers. Such caring and kindness. It will not be forgotten. My son sends his heartfelt thanks and wanted me to say for him that he is proud to serve people such as yourselves. Vanessa,you sweet lady, thank you my friend. I will see you all in forums and hope to get to know as friends. God bless all.... hey thats great news, im so glad he is doing better and that he will be home soon. i know im from the uk but without the efforst of all the armed forces we wouldnt be in these free countries today. my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Ole Jack Layton> ~ Thoughts From A Soldier~
written by Josh Forbes, Calgary Alberta Canada Dear Jack Layton, You sit there in your quiet home, no fear is in your heart, You sleep soundly certain that it won't be blown apart. Your children they can go to school and play out in the park, They've never seen a bomb explode, heard air raids in the dark. They've never seen dead bodies piled up on the street, Your wife, she won't be beaten, treated like a piece of meat. You are free to form opinions, read any news print you can see, You enjoy your rights and privileges in this country wide and free. The reason you can live like that is because I fight your wars, I fight and push the enemy back, I keep them off our shores. I am here and you are there pretending you know best. Well Ole Jack now listen close while I get this off my chest. You have the right to criticize, you have the right to complain You don't have the right to drag me down in a stupid political game. The thing about your rights Ole Jack, the part you can't comprehend Is you work in the very system, the democracy I defend. I stand on fences around the world protecting those that need it, It is not for you to determine Jack whether or not it's worth it. Ask the people in Afghanistan if they want me to stay, Women and children depend on me - you say just walk away. I don't need your changing policy, trying hard to not lose face, What I need is you behind me, helping protect this place. You know its hard to do this when I think I'm all alone. I hear stories of young punks pissing on memorial stones. I read the papers over here and they tell me what is said. Canadians are losing faith I can't get it through my head. You say that it is hopeless, it really brings me down Don't tell my mother we're losing, don't spread that rumour around. I'm doing good, were winning here but no-one will believe Because we are way over here where no one there can see. Women here can work you see, children starting school. We built a working government, we've broken Taliban rule. We are so close to winning this, it's not too far away History will show that we were in the right to stay. When that brilliant day arrives, victory you'll claim is ours You'll forget you said to run away - forget you are a coward. On that day just thank me for my courage and my trouble, Find another place that needs help, and send me on the double. |

i just saw this poem on the net and thought id post here, its by a man called bernard howe.
As our young men and women march off to fight a war. Defending all our rights upon another's shore. I pray for their safe keeping and that they all return. Lets give them the honor that they so rightly earn. And for those who gave it all may your spirits persevere. As we bow our heads in silence and our eyes give off a tear. I thank you from my heart for my country and my rights. May God bless you all and raise to new heights. |
