I wrote a tribute to the soldiers last week (see my posts to the right side over there or scroll down to find it). I dedicated the entry to my friend, a soldier currently serving in Iraq. His response to reading my piece was touching and I refuse to keep it to myself because you all need to know what they truly feel. Please read what he wrote below and know that what we support, what we continually defend to the naysayers, is worthy.
A message from a Soldier:
"Hi Ericka, how are you? I read your writing, It almost made me cry. You don't know how much it means to us over here to see that there's people like you who are on our side. You understand what we're doing, and know that there's a lot of good in it. The people in our country have become pathetic, and it makes me sick that I'm fighting for them. Then there's people like you, who I couldn't be more proud to serve. Anyways, I just wanted to say thank you. Let me know how things are going for you. Miss you."
And once again, I say, THANK YOU. God Bless our Soldiers.
