Sharky's blog: "Things to think about"

OK lets see if the Third time is the charm here. Memorial Day is a day to remember those who made the ultimate scarf ice for this country. Yeah all gave some and some gave all is so correct in portions. Less than 90+% of us are in the military at some degree and less than that even went to defend this country. So yeah we don't look for your respect or even ask for it but when I see a status that a hero is someone who knows right from wrong that makes me sick cause anyone then is a hero where some have a made a scarf ice that no one else would make for you. No disrespect to the fireman , police officers, or even the medics that stay here they place there lives on the line just as well. But those of us who have been to war and a veteran are a rare breed we have been places and done things that we should never had to do because we were trying to protect either ourself or one of our brothers in arms. Regardless what you think a true soldier each time comes back differently and wonders how he made it back and not his buddy. We have been told so often to show no emotion we don't know how sometimes to show it correctly. Our families wonder why we act differently and why sometimes we lose our cool and don't know why. I feel the ones who really did a scarf ice and live without a parent and a loved one because they didn't come back really deserve to be honored than just the soldiers who came back not taking away from us because we lost our buddy our friend our guy to hang with because we were sent on a mission and we knew what the outcome could be but was hoping we all could come home but some idiot thought it was funny to strap a bomb to their wife or child to save the rest of the family. While we all got use to seeing them wave as we did our patrols or what we needed to do to complete the mission we lost them not our fault or anyone else's so forgive me if you agree with me and if I step on your toes well you never had the guts to place on the uniform or be with someone who had and really was a man or woman instead of lack of a better word to keep this from being NSFW the other word for cat or kitty.
