My thughts... so the military knew the risks when they signed up... but you know the risks for carple tunnel as a secretary.  If we're so big on getting respect and wanting a thank you, is it so much for our military to ask for and receive the same thing?



My husand appreciates every thank you and God Bless You that he hears, and he appreciates it more when it comes from kids and non-military members when there hasn't been such a huge tragedy.  But even if they should expect to be put in harms way, should we ignore their loss when one of their's dies?  Or should we stand proud and say thank you, that they were/are willing to put their lives at risk to protect us and our way of lives?



Let's not belittle the loss of one life, whether American or British or German or Russian... let's stand up and demand an end to this type of tyranny, the tyranny of fear and terrorism.  Let's be proud to be Americans, but aso proud to be humans, and unite as a world to stop these types of actions.  And let's say thank you to all of those people who are out there trying to protect all of us, our militaries, our governments, our police, etc...



And let's let Freedom Ring, not just today, but everyday from now to eternity in the US.  Let's not forget ANY of those who have died tragic deaths, even those who are military.
