LOVE THIS COMEBACK

TweetLove This Comeback

One of my sons serves in the military. He is still stateside, here in

California. He called me yesterday to let me know how warm and

welcoming people were to him, and his troops, everywhere he goes,

telling me how people shake their hands, and thank them for being willing to

serve, and fight, for not only our own freedoms but so that others may have

them also.

But he also told me about an incident in the grocery store he stopped at

yesterday, on his way home from the base. He said that ahead of several

people

in front of him stood a woman dressed in a burkha.

He said when she got to the cashier she loudly remarked about the U.S. flag

lapel pin the cashier wore on her smock. The cashier reached up

and touched the pin, and said proudly," Yes, I always wear it and probably

always will."

The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when she was going to stop

bombing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi. A gentleman standing

behind my son stepped forward, putting his arm around my son's

shoulders, and nodding towards my son, said in a calm and gentle voice to

the Iraqi woman:

"Lady, hundreds of thousands of men and women like this young

man have fought and died so that YOU could stand here, in MY country and

accuse a check-out cashier of bombing YOUR countrymen. It is my belief

that had you been this outspoken in YOUR own country, we wouldn't need

to be there today. But, hey, if you have now learned how to speak out so

loudly and clearly, I'll gladly buy you a ticket and pay your way back to

Iraq so you can straighten out the mess in YOUR country that you are

obviously here in MY country to avoid."


Everyone within hearing distance cheered!


IF YOU AGREE____ Pass this on to all your proud American friends.

TweetYeah, you know. The freedom to complain. Can`t beat it and you don`t have it everywhere in the world. Some people think that it is unpatriotic to criticize the govt. I disagree, it is at the core of the American system that a citizen has the right to say what they feel even 'and espically if' that opinion is in the minority.

Here's what get's me. The people who ***** and complain about the government and them don't bother to vote to change it. The best way to get what you want is vote for someone who will do it. Yet some people would rather just ***** and do nothing about it.
