Dear Soldier: A Letter from Home.

[JCisSPAWN117]

WHO CAN DISLIKE SOMETHING LIKE THIS IT PISSES ME OF TO SEE THAT.... its like they have no life and go around disliking shit just cause its a option...

[annaxoxo26]

Having a Brother of 20 just leave for Afghanistan,I really Thank You and I know my Brother would to.

[burgett8]

As a soldier's wife, I want to say thank you!

[WeylynKelley]

I just stumbled across this. I served in the Army for over 22 years. I always avoided internet when I was deployed, refused to read letters unless it was from my wife and would never call home. I did this simply because I did not want distractions. I did not want to worry about what was going on back home. I lost friends in many places and I want to say thank you. God Bless.

[TheCradM]

I appreciate it a hell of a lot, i lost 4 of my guys in 2010, and im going back in April. I hope they're lookin' down watching this video, they would be honored. R.I.P.

Much Love

[09armywife10]

( I'm not talkin bout the arguin on this video It's all the other videos Iv watched!)

[09armywife10]

U know I'm Gettin so tired of watching these wonderful videos n seeing all these nasty arguments. If y'all wanna argue then do it somewhere els, not on a video that's dedicated to all our troops. It's just sad!

Tho I'm pleased to say I think this video is awesome, I found out the other day that my soldier is coming home early!

[Carfagno223]

You know, i used to be one of those "bring our troops home now" person. I just found out one my best friends was killed in afghanistan...Now that i've felt what parents feel about all this..i cant help but wonder that if we bring them home, will it have been for nothing? I mean who's going to tell the mothers that their child died for nothing because we pulled out before we got the job done.

[bookhound63]

@Carfagno223 I agree. I want our troops home too. But if they aren't allowed to get the job done, what was it worth? I just pray for them and hope for an ending that allows them to come home safe having accomplished their mission.

[Carfagno223]

@bookhound63 exactly, our troops were given a specific job to get done, and they're trying...but it really does seem like every step of the way, they are being told that they have to do it in what seems to be the hardest way and that takes the bigger toll

[32marinewife]

This made me cry a little... I had to send it to my husband :] and he said thank you (:

[bookhound63]

@32marinewife Thank you for watching it, and sending it to your husband. God bless you and yours. America supports you.

[armgirl005]

GOD BLESS EVERY LAST ONE OF OUR SOLDIERS! Always remember to keep your powder dry and your head low.

[dizzymarg]

Thank you for posting this, and you are very welcome. God Bless.

[bookhound63]

Just because the media and the White House seem to have forgotten our troops doesn't mean WE should. General McCrystal asked for more troops in Afghanistan back in August. What is Obama waiting for? Our troops are dying with no support. A surge would help our troops by sheer intimidation of numbers and support. Where is Obama? he's "thinking about it" between interviews, speeches, and rounds of golf. He's busy winning the Nobel F'ing Peace Prize!

[DicksonsVixen]

@bookhound63

O, don't forget his Hawaiian vacation hes on with his family. Eating snowcones and having a big ol time.

[bookhound63]

@DicksonsVixen If you are talking about Obama, I didn't vote for him. I support our troops and what they are doing. That doesn't mean I support Obama.

I know that this is late in response to this letter... But on behalf of those of us serving... Thank you. It's people like you that make our job worthwhile-it's YOU who we're fighting for. All this sounds a bit clicheed, but I do mean every word of it.

[bookhound63]

you are very welcome, thank YOU for your service to this country.

[soldierslove08]

my brother is in the army and he is also my hero

i hope to join him soneday and fight for our freedom.

thanks to who ever made this video. it made my eyes water thinking their are others out their who really do care.

[Sethern53]

to all soldiers who care to read... words cannot begin to describe the hell you have been through and all the shame people like password have brought me... but know that its because of your sacrifice that people like him arent dead.. so when you see people like him hold your head high with pride... and know that you are truly among the best humanity can offer because you have proven to be the true image of a hero... and though im only 14 i can say proudly that you are the true heros of freedom

[Sethern53]

to anyone whos going to ask i seriously am only 14 this is my brothers account god bless the soldiers they need it now more than ever!

[smarticlegirl]

that was amazing

i'm 14 too :)

[marinefrazier]

You are wiser than 14. Thank you, and to Bookhound63 thank you also. just one person being grateful is such a comfort. It means so much to us to have support and people like you may not be able to go fight over seas but you do just as much good as us by giving us the morale to hold our heads high as we go into battle.

[1SGFitzsWife]

Doug you'll be leaving on 15 June and I'll be forwarding you this I love you baby me and the kids will be right here when you get home..... Saluting those who proudly serve ....HOOAH....

[Cadester13]

Being over there 3 times myself, I can honestly say that letters are about the only things that truly lift spirts, my wife made sure that I got at least a letter a week from her and my 5 year old boys, those letters truly helped me through it all

[justinm160]

Password you are a very ignorant human being, stop watching the news. I believe that all who oppose this war should travel to the middle east and see the truth. If you havent been in the war, or lost someone in the war you should keep bullshit comments like that to yourself. There has not been one American life taken on our soil since 9/11 and that is soley because my brothers are meeting our enemies at their door instead of yours.

[donttelluseenme]

@justinm160 AMEN !

[passwordthisasspart2]

The true heroes in our military are either in jail or were dishonorably discharged for refusing to deploy to Iraq .

[hedu123]

ignorant

[bookhound63]

Password, Idiot doesn't begin to describe what you are. But that's ok, there is room for you too in America.

[soldierslove08]

what is your problem?

you are so rude

[angelkiszes]

BEAUTIFUL !!!May God shield and protect our Troops......We do LOve all, our troops.Come home soon.......LOve ya, MeDonald!!

[NOwakkiss]

[comradtravis]

you mean the true cowards.

[faithgirl347]

if you dont like our soldiers then why dont you join. they are true men because they do what you WONT do. they are real men.

proud sister and niece of soldiers

[comradtravis]

i already am in the military, and am proud of all who serve, i was refering "cowards" to those who refuse to deploy or are to afraid to go outside the wire

[comradtravis]

im sorry if there was a misunderstanding there as there obviously was by others comments. i have put in 2 years ans 1 tour. i know people who wuss out and it pisses me off to no end.

[PrincessCelest]

Please don't put down those that risk their lives so you can have the right to say that. Your entiled to your opinion but please find somewhere else to place it.

[HoS777]

Nevermind, it seems comments aren't working at all right now...sorry about that.

[HoS777]

Did you delete my comment, bookhound63? If you did, that isn't very nice... :/ I didn't rate your video low... I responded to someone who made an unnecessary political remark. I always do that... when someone makes a political remark (especially an inaccurate one) at an unnecessary time, I get annoyed, but I wasn't rude...I don't like politics; it seems I can't read a good story without there being political undertones. *shrugs* :/

[HoS777]

Obama doesn't want to pull out ASAP, it would be slow...we can't stay there forever, and that's coming from someone who doesn't really have an opinion about the war; too many mixed messages...but anyway...very nice video.

[Emilythecrazy]

I joined! and this was very moving!

[Astrid270718]

This was wondeful!

[Shadowbear1955]

Come home soon.

Take Care. Stay Safe

With Love from me to you.

[DASHIZNITUSMC]

thank you, i am in the marines and have served 2 tours in iraq, recently i had to do the un-godful task of telling my best friend since i was 10's mother how he was killed.... i grew up with him and we enlisted together. he was my best friend. thank you for your support, unlike Obama, who wants to pull us out as soon as possible, with this, my friends mother would know that he died for nothing

[HoS777]

Obama doesn't want to pull out ASAP; this coming from someone who's not really into politics... I'm sorry for your loss and if you get two replies; comments are kind of strange right now...

[homousios]

God Bless You!!.

[itsacivic]

Ma'am Thank you for your support and everyone else who has shown their suport may you all be blessed.
