Please pass this one along, it's worth your time. |

When a soldier comes home, he finds it hard.... |
|
...to listen to his son whine about being bored. |
|
...to keep a straight face when people complain about potholes. |
|
to be tolerant of people who complain about the hassle of getting ready for work. |
|
...to be understanding when a co-worker complains about a bad night's sleep. |
|
.to be silent when people pray to God for a new car. |
|
...to control his panic when his wife tells him he needs to drive slower. |
|
..to be compassionate when a businessman expresses a fear of flying. |
|
...to keep from laughing when anxious parents say they're afraid to send their kids off to summer camp.
|
|
..to keep from ridiculing someone who complains about hot weather.
|
|
...to control his frustration when a colleague gripes about his coffee being cold.
|
|
...to remain calm when his daughter complains about having to walk the dog.
|
|
...to be civil to people who complain about their jobs.
|
|
..to just walk away when someone says they only get two weeks of vacation a year.
|
|
...to be forgiving when someone says how hard it is to have a new baby in the house.
|
|
The only thing harder than being a Soldier..
|
|
Is loving one.
