Why do I title this 'Sweet freedom'? WELL, because freedom is sweet and if it weren't for our Soldiers and Police Officers, we would be.....not free.
So today since I have nothing to important to write about I am going to ramble on and on, eventually maybe, if I'm lucky, I just might end up with a tribute to our Soldiers and Police Officers, remember, IF I'm that lucky, LOL.
We are so lucky. We have great and brave people out on the street for us. We have people who willingly work the streets for us so we can go home safely for the most part.
We have Soldiers who fight for our freedom, through RPG's, land mines, snipers, sand storms, and horrible heat. Soldiers who are going up against other soldiers who know that land, know the mountains and know how to use it to their best advantage. They see things just about everyday that are so horrible we can't even imagine. I read a story one time about a guy in Viet-Nam who saw a guy burst into flames from Na-palm (or however you spell it). They see their buddy's get shot down, or blown up. These pretty faces in America who are turned into icon's or 'Hero's', they don't do anything for us really they give us entertainment or maybe hope, but they will die someday, their face will probably go up on some sorta of wall or into the hall of fame. But these Soldiers who die fighting for us, and our freedom, they don't get as much plublicity as Angelina Jolie who had an affair with Brad Pitt and adopts kids and makes movies. How worthwhile is that??? Adopting kids isn't a bad thing, its a great thing, but compared to what our Soldiers are doing on the other side of the world, I would praise those Soldiers fifty times more. I love my freedom, and I love my friends and family. Just think about those Soldiers who get sent off to boot camp, and then off to a war that they probably don't even agree with, but they go because they have something to fight for.
Well, I have been rambling on for long enough, I will sign off with a joke.
OVER AND OUT! ~CC~
A preacher was completing a temperance sermon; with great expression he said, "If I had all the beer in the world, I'd take it and throw it into the river."
With even greater emphasis he said, "And if I had all the wine in the world, I would take it and throw it into the river."
And then finally, he said, "And if I had all the whiskey in the world I'd take it and throw it into the river."
He sat down.
The song leader then stood very cautiously and announced with a smile, "For our closing song let us sing Hymn # 365: "Shall We Gather at the River."
OMG WOW, I was laughing SO HARD!!
