Sad, but true. My brother tells me all the time how shocked Americans would be about what who our enemies are. I have lived the destruction that comes from these soldiers/troops when they come home after seeing horrors daily. I wouldn't wish it on my own worst enemy. But they're still my hero's - even after all the pain that's come to me from that destruction. Why? Because how many people do you know will go face someone that they KNOW wants to kill them everyday?? And it's all to protect Americans. Period. It doesn't mean their republican or democrat. It doesn't even mean they believe in God. They all believe in their country, the red, white, and blue. They believe in protecting U.S. citizens ~ from domestic enemies, as well as foreign. They also believe when they get home, their fellow citizens will now protect them and fight for them like they did for us.
I spent some time with our troops at the VA medical center in Tampa. It's good, but it's not good enough. The mental care they're given is definitely not even up-to par. They need more help with their TBI and PTSD. We owe them that. Contact your local VA hospital or your local Fisher House and volunteer. You'll be glad you did.
