Warriors In Their Own Words

CLICK HERE TO SEE VIDEO

We have always had warriors, from as far back in history as one can go — warriors are timeless.
Warriors have a moral code and are not simply trained killers (as they are all too frequently portrayed).
If we did not have warriors, we would undoubtedly be speaking another language, German, Japanese, Chinese, or Russian.
Warriors are born, they are not created. Certainly they are trained, but to be a warrior is a calling.
We should be forever grateful to our warriors and to their families who are all so courageous.
We should honor our warriors. Warriors are NOT, as they are commonly portrayed, victims with no where else to go but the military.
This project will show people what intelligent, honorable, and brave people we have standing in the way of the free world’s demise.

“Our Mission is to Honor Our Warriors and to raise funding through our documentary, portrait book and exhibit –to aid wounded service members, their families, and the families of the fatally wounded.”

LETTERS FROM THOSE SERVING NOW
Sergeant Michael A Thomas Personal Narrative “3 A.M. IN BANGOR, MAINE”

“As I walked off the plane, I was taken aback; in the small, dimly lit airport, a group of elderly veterans were there waiting for us, lined up one by one to shake our hands. Some were standing, others were confined to wheelchairs, and all of then wore their uniform hats. Their now-feeble right hands stiffened in salutes, their left hands holding coffee, snacks, and cell phones for us.
“As I made my way through the line, each man thanking me for my service, I choked back tears. Here we were, returning from one year in Iraq where we had portable DVD players, three square meals, and phones, being honored by men who had crawled through mud for years while little more than the occasional letter from home. A few of them appeared to be veterans of the war in Vietnam, I couldn’t help but think of how they were treated when they came back to the U.S., and yet here they were to support us.”
“These soldiers – many of whom had lost limbs and comrades – shook our hands proudly, as if our service could somehow rival their own.”
“We later learned that this VFW group had waited for more than a day in the airport for our arrival.”

Wild Thing’s comment…….
This video is first class and the reason it is so awesome is because of our soldiers. Listen to their words, they speak from their heart and soul how they feel. It has me crying but that is what tears are for too. Grateful and awe inspiring tears of pride in our American’s that give so much for us to be free and for others too to learn what freedom is about.
