I got this as an email about the Average Person in the Military
My love goes out to every Military Man and Women!!
The average age of the military man is 19 years.
He is a short haired, tight-muscled kid who, under
normal circumstances is considered by society as half man, half boy. Not
yet dry behind the ears, not old enough to buy a beer,
but old enough to die for his country.
He never really cared much for work and he would rather wax his own car than wash his father's; but he has never collected unemployment either.
He's a recent High School graduate; he was probably an average student, pursued some form of sport activities, drives a ten year old jalopy, and has a steady girlfriend that either broke up with him when he left, or swears to be waiting when he returns from half a world away.
He listens to rock and roll or hip-hop or rap or jazz or swing and 155mm Howitzers.
He is 10 or 15 pounds lighter now than when he was at home because he is working or fighting from before dawn to well after dusk.
He has trouble spelling, thus letter writing is a pain for him, but he can field strip a rifle in 30 seconds and reassemble it in less time in the dark.
He can recite to you the nomenclature of a machine gun or grenade launcher and use either one effectively if he must.
He digs foxholes and latrines and can apply first aid like a professional.
He can march until he is told to stop or stop until he is told to march.
He obeys orders instantly and without hesitation, but he is not without spirit or individual dignity.
He is self-sufficient. He has two sets of fatigues: he washes one and wears the other. He keeps his canteens full and his feet dry.
He sometimes forgets to brush his teeth, but never to clean his rifle.
He can cook his own meals, mend his own clothes,
and fix his own hurts. If you're thirsty, he'll share his water with
you; if you are
hungry, his food.
He'll even split his ammunition with you in the midst of battle when you run low.
He has learned to use his hands like weapons and weapons like they were his hands. He can save your life - or take it, because that is his job.
He will often do twice the work of a civilian, draw half the pay and still find ironic humor in it all. He has seen more suffering and death then he should have in his short lifetime.
He has stood atop mountains of dead bodies, and helped to create them.
He has wept in public and in private, for friends who have fallen in combat and is unashamed.
He feels every note of the National Anthem vibrate
through his body while at rigid attention, while tempering the burning
desire to
'square-away' those around him who haven't bothered to
stand, remove their hat, or even stop talking. In an odd twist, day in
and day out, far from home, he defends their right to be disrespectful.
Just as did his Father, Grandfather, and Great-grandfather, he is paying the price for our freedom.
Beardless or not, he is not a boy.
He is the American Fighting Man that has kept this country free for over 200 years.
He has asked nothing in return, except our friendship and understanding.
Remember him, always, for he has earned our respect and admiration with his blood.
For our Military
"Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect
them as they
protect us. Bless them and their families for the
selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen."

American
Center for Law & Justice
dedicated to protecting your constitutional rights |
American troops are now on the move against the evil regime of Saddam Hussein. Our President, as Commander-in-Chief, is required by the Constitution to defend our country.
In addition, the Senate already authorized this use of force last November and the U.N. Resolution 1441 provides for this use of force - it is time to pray as never before for our troops, for our leaders, for the future of freedom!
Please join me particularly in praying for DIVINE WISDOM for President Bush and Secretaries Powell and Rumsfeld as they make strategic decisions.
Your prayers will make a tremendous
difference. So please continue to pray for the American Center as we fight
to protect your freedom ... for our troops and their families ... and especially
for our leaders throughout this war. Thank you!
