Like the CMH it stands for the ones that didn't make it back as much as the ones who did.<br /><br />Rita's comment is perfect, and is why you should wear it with honor. The reason you earned that medal is so that she could never comprehend what it was like. In this, you were successful and God bless you for it. I've been known to say that it's our own fault... our military has done such a good job of confronting evil on foreign shores that we no longer understand what it's like... what freedom from fear is worth as a nation. People like Rita make me rethink that theory. Those who don't know what it's like to live in fear but who appreciate the fact that they don't make it all worth it.jinkstohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05645519830822645928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-50951563351827870172009-11-15T17:58:54.728-08:002009-11-15T17:58:54.728-08:00Holy Shxx.

I can't even imagine what it was like over there. <br /><br />The soldiers at Fort Hood were killed by an avowed enemy of this country and our military. The coward wore our uniform and committed a terrorist act.<br /><br />If Obama doesn't award Purple Hearts to these heroes, he is as big a coward.<br /><br />cjhCJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798965643027904154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-49272754327467844572009-11-15T10:00:00.276-08:002009-11-15T10:00:00.276-08:00Maj.
