When A Soldier Comes Home…
This was originally an Email that was sent to me by my cousin. Â I decided to turn this into a blog post to make it more widespread. Â To all the soldiers and veterans out there, I dedicate this post to you.
When A Soldier Comes Home…
When a soldier comes home, he finds it hard...
...to listen to his son whine about being bored.
... to keep a straight face when people complain about potholes.
To be tolerant of people who complain about the hassle of getting ready for work.
To be understanding when a co-worker complains about a bad night's sleep.
To be silent when people pray to God for a new car.
To control his panic when his wife tells him he needs to drive slower.
To keep from ridiculing someone who complains about hot weather.
To control his frustration when a colleague gripes about his coffee being cold.
To remain calm when his daughter complains about having to walk the dog.
To be civil to people who complain about their jobs.
To just walk away when someone says they only get two weeks of vacation a year.
The only thing harder than being a soldier…
Is loving one.
