American Soldiers

Recently, I was in a Home Depot. I came across a man in camouflage, obviously in the military. I passed him and wanted to say, "I appreciate your service for this country." I thought to myself, it's alright if I don't say a word, he probably hears it all the time. Then a chilling feeling rushed through me. In today's times the media does nothing but bash the war and publish stories of American atrocities. I should have said something. I should have said what all Americans should be saying in a time of war. It was too late. The American servant walked away to probably purchase something to improve or fix in his home while he was still in the country that he loves.

After all this, I thought to myself. What if everyone thought like me? What if everyone just passed our great warriors by? Thinking they get the support they deserve. Remember, as I did too late, the media does not agree with the war. You have to support them.

Regardless of how you feel politically, remember these public servants wear the American flag and go to places where you don't want to go. They serve and protect regardless of how they feel. Support your American troops and leave politics behind. I will never pass up the next opportunity to support our fellow Americans again. In today's times of American hate, they need all the support they can get. Cheers to you, my fellow countrymen.
