This is a very good story, and I feel it not only applies to situations as existed in Iraq, but in the rest of the world as well... \n\nGod bless your family, and thankyou for your willingness to defend freedom at home and across the globe.

As a Vietnam Veteran, I understand how you feel. I doubt that you will get over it, but you have to learn how to deal with it. My thanks to my Canadian brothers.

Deployed OEF-7 Afghanistan. Thanx a lot. Everyone stateside please eat a wonderful dinner, burp eat dessert, burp watch football, burp make a turkey sandwich, and have a beer for me. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. And if you get up early enough watch the parade. If you have never been deployed you will probably never understand what you take for granted. I know I didn't. Happy Holidays.

A time of remembrance for me... of young faces I once knew a lifetime ago who are no longer here and of a lot that are. Faces of my beloved family who fought in WW2 and Korea who have crossed over to a place where no more internal battles are fought and no more sadness felt for those they once knew and lost. Places no one will ever remember, that is, no one but those who were there. Battles, large and small, in war and within ones-self, that do not rate a mention in history but definitely helped write it. Sounds of long ago but were only yesterday this morning. Survivors guilt but deep inside.... glad it wasn't me. Reading citations and asking myself," Did I really do that"? Looking for lost loves and lost youth knowing that you will find neither. Memories, some good...some bad. Touching the scars on my body from shrapnel and on my chest from a 7.62. Looking at that rifle that I brought home with me that put that bullet there and remembering the young Vietnamese that once held it that I killed almost at the same time as he shot me. Looking into a mirror and then at a picture on a wall and wondering where did that kid disappear to? Still feeling the pride that I felt then and feeling pride in those who wear, or have worn, the uniform of today ( Do you ever really take it off?) Looking at my sons face, my daughters faces, my grandchildren's faces, and whispering a prayer that they will never forget me or others like me who sacrificed so much so other people may seek freedom and have rights and when necessary, fight for this country and for their rights that so many of its citizens take for granted. Looking at the colors and feeling the pride for I know the price many youth have paid to keep it flying. Understanding, that one more year has passed and that I am closer to paying my dues to the one I cheated out of them three+ times. Not really caring about life or death personally anymore for after what I went through, saw, did, etc. what is really left but the waiting.... just like then. Yes, today I especially remember. Thanks for serving. Welcome home. God bless and see you in Fiddler's Green.

I just want to say that I'm glad you are doing this for some serviceman somewhere. I'm in the RAF and joined up shortly after I finished school. It was my first time away from my family for more than two weeks and felt very homesick for ages. My friends and family sent me letters while I was at basic training and they really kept me going. I agree that you shouldn't mention the school project thing, but take an interest in the guy/girl you are writing to and tell them some interesting things that you are up to. It'll make their day, believe me! Good luck for the future and I hope you get to write to someone you'll become good friends with!!  :-D

This is a lovely poem and could be used in any time frame, not just during war. ◄

Very quiet day today.  Got up late, dig some digging over on the vegetable garden, strained of and bottled the sloe gin for Christmas.  Made jelly out of the left over sloes.  This evening we went out for a meal for my son's birthday.  Nice day.\n\nI'll wander off to bed shortly, as he has to be out playing rugby fairly early tomorrow.
