People that know me know that I can get a bit philosophical or dramatic at times. That's just the way I am. Regardless of your politics I would like to send you my thoughts.
Living in the mid east myself I have been affected by terrorism personally. I have lost friends, have had friends wounded and have luckily escaped injury myself. It is just the reality.
With the anniversary of 9/11 upon us again I just wanted to send a quick reminder to those of us that were NOT affected directly. For those that were no reminder is needed. They suffer with great loss every day.
There are many brave men and women in the armed forces that are in Afghanistan and Iraq fighting terror every day. It is a difficult fight that they are fighting courageously in near unbearable conditions.
The next time you order food at a restaurant and it comes to you late or cold remember that they are eating sandy MREs that they can't send back to the kitchen.
The next time it's hot out and you can go into an air conditioned mall, remember that its hotter in the Middle East and there are very few air conditioners to be found. Oh yea, and they wear full uniforms and flack jackets(not the most "breathable" wear)
Please be grateful for what you have. And keep good thoughts for victims of world terrorism and those brave men and women out there on the front lines.
Thank you for your time.
Gratefully,
Jeff
