Rangers Lead The Way

You should thank a soldier today because:

• they fight so you don’t have to
• they cant kiss their loved ones every day like you can
• they’ve written a blank check made payable to The 'United States of America', for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
• Freedom isn’t free
• They are someone’s daughter or son, husband or wife, friend, mentor, confidant, teddy bear
• They sweat a lot and they sleep a little
• They are survivor
• Their families miss them and pray for their safe return everyday
• They are protecting your children/parents/best friends
• There is someone at home who’s world would be shattered if they didn’t come home
• You are able to read this…in English
  
  You should thank a soldier because you can.
  
  So thank a soldier today….and if you can, thank their mom, dad, sister, brother, dog, friend, and significant other, too. They are the backbone to every one of them.
  
  The world will say goodbye to a great young man tomorrow, and far too early at that.
  
  Scotty, you are a hero to all of us. You are my hero. May you rest in peace.
