My biggest wish (other than turning Iraq and Afghanistan into a lake) is to make all the reporters actually report all the good things that service members are doing. How many families they have helped. The sacrifices made, etc, etc. Burns my hide. I thought I'd attach a few Hoorah pictures to add to the mood. Enjoy.

Got to totally agree with you on this. While I was there, so many good things were done, but never reported on. They (reporters) only wanted the bad, bloody and bodies to report on. Really makes me sad to know there is a lot of good being done, but nothing said about it.

Mike Ferrara OFFLINE Guru Posts: 5057 Thank you received: 3 Karma: 0	Since a number of you have expressed well wishes for my son, I thought I'd drop a note and mention that he is finally back. He got back in the U.S. week before last and got home on leave last weekend. He seems to be in good health and good spirits although I think he might OD on McDonalds if he isn't careful.

It goes without saying the wonderful men and woman we have growing up in this country and serve us with such dedication.
It is the time of year we speak of them, but many of us think of them throughout the year.

It would be an awesome wish to have come true to hear of the good instead of constantly the bad.
After all isn't that why we are over there to begin with, to make others lives better ?

And as Red so elequently put it many thanks to all the folks who serve us daily so unselfishly.

Happy Holidays all and may we see Peace in our life time.

Rick Burten OFFLINE Enforcer Posts: 9082 Thank you received: 50 Karma: 8	Regardless of the time of year, I never miss an opportunity to walk up to a man or woman in uniform, stick out my hand and say "Thank you for your service to our country." This time of year, I add, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, whatever.

Rick, we were just talking about this on a horse chat board I frequent. Someone posted a video about all the missed opportunities to tell men and woman in uniform "thank you".
Well I've always wanted to but I am shy. So I told them I was going to thank the next person I saw in uniform.
My friend and I walked into a Red Robin and there was a bunch of men and woman (about 15) in uniform having lunch at a table.
I walked in and they were busy talking amongst theirselves and I thought, now's not a good time (the shyness taking over).
On the way out I caught a few of their eyes, walked over and thanked them for everything they do for us and to have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
They were all so happy and gracious. Now I know it's silly to be "too shy" to say thank you. I will take the opportunity whenever I get it now.

solidrockshoer OFFLINE Admin Posts: 12874 Thank you received: 2 Karma: -1	Thats real nice Nicci. I live about 2 miles from Ft. Bragg so I've got a few Military customers, which I usually charge my old prices for them and always tell them how much I appreciate them going over seas and kicking but and taking names and in the end making this a safer place to live.
