I don't think we have one of these. This is not meant for an argument thread. This is meant for a memorial/honor of both U.S. soldiers and other soldiers around the world. So if you have family, friends, or someone that lives near you who is in Iraq or Afghan., then you can post them here.

Pst. If you want to make a thread like this and NOT start a fight, I highly suggest you change your sig. It's slightly inflamatory.

Awww Joey, that is such a lovely idea! I know someone who makes this little stick that you put in the ground, and you wrap ribbons around. It's such a lovely idea.

Both my History teacher and neighbor's son came back from a 9 month tour. There's one guy, James Macintosh, who graduated from my highschool who's still over there. A guy from a nearby town, Sidney, died in an ambush a week ago. There haven't been many yellow ribbons in my town, but i also live in a small town.

You know, when I joined up with this board I was a normal civilian, and I intended to stay that way, but I ended up joining the military myself. When I was a civilian, stuff such as the yellow ribbons and the flag pins just seemed kind of cheesy, a way to say "I'm doing something" when really if you just looked at it from the outside only, it looks like it's the bottom of the pot; but now I'm here, even right now I'm in the barracks at Fort Sam Houston, MEDCOM in the middle of San Antonio in training to become a combat medic so that I can myself go with a unit potentially into a combat zone with the sole purpose of saving as many of the wounded people (our troops, their civilians and yes, their troops) as I can, and the more personally immersed you are into such a situation, the more the things that seem small mean when you look at them from the outside. Just take it as words from a soldier who is no different than you except the fact that they make me a)keep short hair b)wear boots and mostly camo cloths c)wake up at 4 am for physical training every day d)spend 9 hours or so a day in class on weekdays and e)eat less than perfect food daily.
