Soldiers

Everyone morning I turn on my computer and read the news for the day via my yahoo home page. And it is starting to get to me that everyday it seems that the lead story is about the war and those who had died fighting. It really is starting to hit home with me as my cousin is serving over in Germany right now. This war is a serious thing, a thing that many of us forget about as we go on day by day. She is over there treating and healing our wounded soliders. While, I am over here deciding what I want to do for my friday night. Today happens to be my cousins birthday and she just emailed me to say she is spending the day working, taking care of 5 soldiers who were wounded by a suicide bomber. Can you imagine spending your birthday like that? It makes me realize how lucky I am. Lucky to live in a country where prople stand up and fight for us and our freedom. Without these wonderful soldiers, where would we be? It makes me realize that things that I think are important or things that I stress over, just don't seem so important anymore. What is important is gettnig back our soldiers alive and well.
