Yes... It is like that!
Count your blessings, pray for them,
and
the next time when...
or you have to park a little further from the store than you want to be,
or the shower runs out of hot water,
or you're sitting and cursing the traffic in front of you,
Think of them...
Protecting your freedom!

DO NOT DELETE-PLEASE PASS ON - Message from Iraq
The proud warriors of Baker Company wanted to do something to pay tribute To our fallen comrades. So since we are part of the only Marine Infantry Battalion left in Iraq the one way that we could think of doing that is By taking a picture of Baker Company saying the way we feel. It would be awesome if you could find a way to share this with our fellow countrymen. I
was wondering if there was anyway to get this into your papers to let the world know that "WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN" and are proud to serve our country!" Semper Fi

The attached photo was forwarded from one of the last U.S. Marine companies in Iraq. They would like to have it passed to as many people as possible, to let the folks back home know that they remember why they're there and that they remember those who've been lost.
Hope everyone had a safe and fun 4th of July, but let us not forget there are men and women out there defending this freedom of ours!!
God bless the USA and our troops!

If you would please read the caption, the marines did that to remember their fallen commrades and stuff. I only posted what was in the e-mail. Again, this has nothing to do with politics, i simply posted an e-mail i got from a friend, and thought people would like to see it, thats all!

Yea, we all just need to forget about the training camps in Iraq............and the finacial supply network........and the large safe house full of sand that was guaranteed safe harbor and passage as need be..........and..and.......Oh yea, I`m trying to forget those things.
Yep, ole Sadman was just a biggy ole cuddly teddy bear who meant no one no harm. He is just misunderstood.
Hehe. Someone is a little miffy over a celebration on July 4th. I wonder why? :)
A bunch of us hooligans from around the area got together for a little charring of the beef for our celebration. We needed to hang out in the back yard around the smoker to insure that the meat didn`t burn. Real early. :) It`s pretty warm in Texas, so you had to keep your liquid intake up for health purposes . One of guys who I`ve known for a long , long time got a little earlier start than the rest of us. He is a lifetime professional bar furniture stacker. One of the best I`ve ever know, he just never could figure out how to make a living doing it. :) He was redlined celebration mode by meal time and had been keeping the rest of us rib busting sore with laughter and watching him do his thing.
When everything was ready we were all busy getting our plates filled and showing our support for aluminum recycling effort. We were all prety much sit down at the picnic tables and about to dive into the Q. All of a sudden our rebel rouser stopped everyone in place with a loud "What`s wrong with you ************s. Remember why we`re celebrating. Raise your glasses"
Then short and sweet he made the toast......." To our bros in uniform, present and past who protect our freedom."
Everyone was pretty quiet for a couple of minutes, then one of the guys told him "Sweet bro. Didn`t know you had it in ya."
He replied "By Gawd I may be drunk, but I R Americun." The fun and celebration was back on.

Nothing wrong with remembering the sacrifices of our men and women in uniform. Also nothing wrong with speaking your mind about our government and its policies. Both are appropriate American actions and both should be honored on the 4th.
-
Yep American should remember the hardship and danger that those brave soldiers deal with every day. And they should remember the reason (http://www.oldamericancentury.org/pnac.htm) they're all there.

This is becomming rediculous. All i wanted to do was share an email i recieved. Should have known we couldnt handle this topic. I ask that this forum be closed as soon as possible! Sad, just wanted to share an email from a friend who i talk to regularly about this game to and told me i should post it. Sorry i even thought about it! :(

THE FORMER IRAQI REGIME OF Saddam Hussein trained thousands of radical Islamic terrorists from the region at camps in Iraq over the four years immediately preceding the U.S. invasion, according to documents and photographs recovered by the U.S. military in postwar Iraq.
BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.S. forces came upon a recently abandoned terrorist training camp on the outskirts of Baghdad where recruits were apparently taught how to make bombs and what to do if they got captured, the Marines said Wednesday.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Before his death, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi had recruited hundreds of people who received terrorist training in Iraq and then returned to their home countries to await orders, The New York Times reported in Sunday editions.

Sorry EagleEyes...maybe if you could just tell us each what to post - maybe in multiple choice format - we could post exactly how you want us to.

There was never a bigger evil spread in this world than the giving of multiple choices to complete idiots.

I didnt mean you cant post anything, i just didnt want this to become a political debat. Especially on something like the Iraq war. Many posts have been made about the war in Iraq, and ALL of them get locked because of heated words between people. Just didnt want that to happen to this one. Again, just wanted to show off an e-mail i got, thats all!

I wouldn`t expect you to understand the pride we have in the U.S. military.
I certainly DO expect you to get all prissy and Whaissh when American pride is acknowledged. You have a rough row to hoe. You see it often. You go into The Evil U.S. Empire mode every time you do. It`s pretty funny......pathetic, but funny.
Did you make a special effort to geto the Fourth of July posts? Perfect place for you. lmao
You probably know that Britain also has the substantial military deployment in Iraq, and although we don't have a national day as such
I believe I can rest asured that it doesn`t have to be explained to you that the holiday and celebration wasn`t set up and scheduled recently for the Iraqi war.
Well if your country ever did go the bother to select a day to honor your military, might want to suggest it not be on the Fourth Of July....it`s taken. :rofl

There is no contradiction there.
Like I said you can`t understand American pride. Understanding since you have never had anything even nearing it. The holiday is not to generrate patriotism. That is strongly in place now as in the past and will continue to be in the future.
That`s why you are in England, posting to a subject in a thread dealing with the Fourth Of July and we were here celebrating our accomplishments, pride of our country, our appreciation of those before us and those serving presently to insure Old Glory waves proudly.
Having some cold ones, getting together with friends and family, thowing the Q on the grill and in general , celebrating that pride and the very fact that we are proud to be an American is a wonderfull thing indeed. One that you will never experience. You have to be an American to be so fortunate.
"WE" are Americans.
Ya know, I don`t believe there are too many people here who had any desire to rub mud in anyone`s face over the origination of the holiday here. This thread, like the others on the same subject that you found a desire to jump into have nothing to do with you. It`s an AMERICAN subject. AMERICAN pride. You are not.
There is a saying here I`m sure you heard in your short time here that says..."America. Love it or leave it." You made the right choice. You have to have the pride in this land to appreciate it. Pride in your country in general.
Now..........you can continue on with your more than obvious attempt to get this thread closed as I noticed you very obviosly are attempting in the others, until such time as the whole thing gets Skuzzified.. You can jump in any future threads dealing with American pride and get them closed too if you wish. The thing that you never have been able to even scratch the surface of, is the pride we have in our country. It will never change. Your very presence in these threads speaks for itself. You will just have to deal with it. Sad.
What is eating you has been shown over and over when it comes to the U.S. is your very blaring jealousy of our home and our pride, of you which you do not have.
Lee Greenwood expresses it in a song better than most. It echos the very thoughts of us who are appreciative and proud of the simple fact We Are American.
Deal with it and carry on.
"If tomorrow all the things were gone I�d worked for all my life,
And I had to start again with just my children and my wife.
I�d thank my lucky stars to be living here today,
�Cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can�t take that away.
And I`m proud to be an American where at least I know I`m free.
And I wonï`t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.
And I`d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
Cause there ain`t no doubt I love this land God bless the U.S.A.
From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee,
across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea,
From Detroit down to Houston and New York to LA,
Well, there pride in every American heart,
and it`s time to stand and say:
I`m proud to be an American where at least I know I`m free.
And I won`t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.
And I`d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
Cause there ain`t no doubt I love this land God bless the U.S.A."
