Support Our Troops

There are some who don’t know the difference between war and those who are fighting it. They forget that those who are fighting may not think what is going on is right, but they are serving their country. You may not believe that our troops should be where they are but you have to separate that from how you view them. No matter what you believe, you have to support our troops. Though you may not know anyone who is off at war, I bet you know someone else who has a husband, wife, sister, brother, father, or friend who is off fighting a war that you can’t really understand.

You hear many say they support our troops, but how are they doing that? You can protest a war, and say it’s not right, but you can’t make them feel as if they are not appreciated by their country. If you really don’t know what they are going through, you should take some time to find out. There are young people over there, some barely over 18, who are seeing things they should never see, and living in ways that seem extremely primitive in comparison to what they had at home. The do it because it is what they signed up for. Remember that most didn’t sign up to go to Iraq, but rather, they signed up to defend our country and they are now just following orders. Supporting our troops means supporting them, not the reason they are there.

The average person does feel for them, and they want to do something to support our troops, but they simply don’t know what to do. There are many simple things anyone can do that might make more of a difference than they could imagine. Sending cards and letters of support is one great thing to do, and you can also send care packages. There is another great way to support our troops right here at home. If you know a military family where the mom or dad is off at war, do what you can to help the family that is left behind. They are probably struggling, and they need your support. There are so many things you can do with your time to make their lives a little easier. Those families are making the ultimate sacrifice to ensure your freedoms, so helping them cope might be one of the best things you can do when you want to help support our troops.
