Your cell phone 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 patrols 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 mother 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 shops and get your hair redone..
He doesn't have time to brush his teeth today.
You're angry because your day at work 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 do some thing by your parents. You
don't.
He does exactly what he is told even if it puts his life in
danger.
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 tries to sleep but gets woken by mortars and
helicopters all night long.
REMEMBER our Troops, do not forget what they do each
and everyday
while they are fighting for YOU
