WHEN A SOLDIER COMES HOME
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 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.
