In the two years since my son joined up as a baby-faced 16 year old, we have learnt a lot as an "Army family" - especially that we should never take any moment for granted. As CookieMonster knows, we've been devastated by the recent deaths of two of his best friends out in Afghanistan (just turned 18 yrs old) but despite our dearest wish for our guys to come home safely right now (including a very old family friend of ours), we know the Forces are doing a very important peace-keeping role in a very dangerous country. I'd still like to give our Government a bl**dy good talking to, 'tho!

Although I live in the United States, I believe all countries may have those groups of people you name in one form or another. Known as the classes of citizens... the upper, middle, poor and the rest falls in place. But it is good to find some sort of celebration of the origin of the country and how far it came to get where it is today. We got to look at the past, the present, and the future. Figure out what is working now and will work tomorrow. My point is that some wars are out of hands; especially if we are the typical people living the a country and the government decides to go to war and we are fighting for no reason at all once the majority of what the cause of the war is has ceased. Soldiers in any war are important. They are fighting for their country. They are in the battle for an entire group of people.. thousands in fact. I’ve enjoyed reading this post.
