Quoting ladyluck75:

This was sent to me this week and I thought Id share it with all of you!!!


Your alarm goes off, you hit the snooze and sleep for another 10 minutes.
He stays up for days on end.
_________________________


You take a warm shower to help you wake up.
He goes days or weeks without running water.
__________________________

You complain of a "headache", and call in sick.
He gets shot at as others are hit, and keeps moving forward.
__________________________
You put on your anti war/don't support the troops shirt, and go meet up with your friends.
He still fights for your right to wear that shirt.
__________________________


You make sure you're cell ph one is in your pocket.
He clutches the cross hanging on his chain next to his dog tags.
__________________________


You talk trash about your "buddies" that aren't with you.
He knows he may not see some of his buddies again.
__________________________


You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls.
He walks the streets, searching for insurgents and terrorists.
__________________________


You complain about how hot it is.
He wears his heavy gear, not daring to take off his helmet to

wipe his brow.
__________________________


You go out to lunch, and complain because the restaurant got your
order wrong.
He doesn't get to eat today.
__________________________


Your maid makes your bed and washes your clothes.
He wears the same things for weeks, but makes sure

his weapons are clean.
__________________________


You go to the mall and get your hair redone.
He doesn't have time to brush his teeth today.
__________________________


You're angry because your class ran 5 minutes over.
He's told he will be held over an extra 2 months.
__________________________

You call your girlfriend and set a date for tonight.
He waits for the mail to see if there is a letter from home.
__________________________


You hug and kiss your girlfriend, like you do everyday.
He holds his letter close and smells his love's perfume.
__________________________


You roll your eyes as a baby cries.
He gets a letter with pictures of his new child, and wonders if
they'll ever meet
__________________________


You criticize your government, and say that war never solves anything.
He sees the innocent tortured and killed by their own people and
remembers why he is fighting.
__________________________


You hear the jokes about the war, and make fun of men like him.
He hears the gunfire, bombs and screams of the wounded.
__________________________


You see only what the media wants you to see.
He sees the broken bodies lying around him.

__________________________


You are asked to go to the store by your parents. You don't.
He does exactly what he is told.
__________________________



You stay at home and watch TV.
He takes whatever time he is given to call, write home, sleep, and eat.
__________________________


You crawl into your soft bed, with down pillows, and get comfortable.
He crawls under a tank for shade and a 5 minute nap, only to be woken by gunfire.
__________________________


You sit there and judge him, saying the world is probably a worse place because of men like him.
If only there were more men like him!
____________________________


Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you,
Jesus Christ and Soldiers all over the World. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
Amen
