WHEN A SOLDIER COMES HOME

WHEN  A SOLDIER COMES HOME (Read to the Very End!)
This email is being  circulated around the world~~~please keep it going.
When  a soldier comes home, he finds it hard......to listen to his son whine about  being bored.
 
....to keep a straight face when people complain about potholes.

To  be tolerant of people who complain about the hassle of getting ready for work. 
...to  be understanding when a co-worker complains about a bad night's  sleep.
 
  ...to  be silent when people pray to God for a new car.
 
...to  control his panic when his wife tells him he needs to drive  slower.


..to  be compassionate when a businessman expresses a fear of  flying.


 ....to  keep from laughing when anxious parents say they're afraid to send their kids  off to summer camp.


 ....to  keep from ridiculing someone who complains about hot  weather.


....to  control his frustration when a colleague gripes about his coffee being  cold. 
 
  
....to  remain calm when his daughter complains about having to walk the  dog.



.....to  be civil to people who complain about their jobs.


.....to  just walk away when someone says they only get two weeks of vacation a  year.

 ...to  be forgiving when someone says how hard it is to have a new baby in the  house. 

The only thing harder than being a  Soldier...  

Is loving one. 

I was asked to pass this on and I will gladly do so!! Will  you???
 
No  one has been able to explain to me why young men and women serve in the U.S.  Military for 20 years, risking their lives protecting freedom, and only get  50% of their pay on retirement. While Politicians hold their political  positions, in the safe confines of the capital, protected by these same men  and women, and receive full-pay retirement after serving one term. It just  does not make any sense.  

If  each person who receives this will forward it on to 20 people, in three days,  most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one  proposal that really should be passed around.

Proposed 28th  Amendment to the United States Constitution: "Congress shall make no law that  applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to  the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that  applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to  the citizens of the United States."

You  are one of my 20+. I passed it on, will you?

"If  you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice," and these brave  soldiers have given you that choice.  
This from my cousin,

Pass it on!
