Thanks - many Americans live their days without a thought in the world about service members placing themselves in harm's way for the American people.

You are absolutely correct. I hate saying this, but there is alot of truth to it....It's not them or their family members, so why should they worry? I've heard it many of times while serving. Another is..."you signed the contract." There is alot of ignorance as far as those who never served (those who understand are excluded). They think we ask for whatever is dealt to us, yet use the freedoms we all fought for to express them. Pretty sad sometimes.

I for one hate that Americans are apathetic at times. We are so much to our military members and their families. A big shout of thanks to everyone in the military family.

Agreed.

We live in the greatest country on the face of the planet, and we owe a lot to our veterans and their families for the sacrifices they have given so that we can ENJOY our way of life. When I see people complain about and hate on America it burns me up. We may not be perfect, but we are blessed !
