Proud Americans

[Roz]

This is out of an email I just received. I thought I would pass it along.

One of my sons serves in the military. He is
stationed stateside, here in **California**. He called
me yesterday to let me know how warm and welcoming
people were to him and his troops everywhere they go.
Telling me how people shake their hands and thank them
for being willing to serve and fight, not only our own
freedoms but so that others may have them too.

Then he told me about an incident in the grocery store
he stopped at yesterday, on his way home from the
base. He said that several people were in the line
ahead of him, including a woman dressed in a burkha.

He said when she got to the cashier, she made a loud
remark about the **U.S.** Flag, lapel pin, the cashier
wore on her smock. The cashier reached up and touched
the pin and said, "Yes, I always wear it proudly,
because I'm an American."

The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when
she was going to stop bombing her countrymen,
explaining that she was Iraqi.

Then, a gentleman standing behind my son stepped
forward, putting his arm around my son's shoulders and
nodding towards my son, said in a calm and gentle
voice to the Iraqi woman: "Lady, hundreds of thousands
of men and women like this young man have fought and
died so that YOU could stand
here, in MY country and accuse a check-out cashier of
bombing YOUR countrymen. It is my belief that had you
been this outspoken in YOUR own country, we wouldn't
need to be there today. But, hey, if you have now
learned how to speak out so loudly and clearly, I'll
gladly buy you a ticket and pay your way back to
**Iraq**, so you can straighten out the mess in YOUR
country, that you are obviously here in MY country to
avoid."

Everyone within hearing distance cheered!


IF YOU AGREE... Repost to all of your proud American
friends.

I just did.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS, ALWAYS

It is a good story, but unfortunately it has been circulating emails for quite a while, which usually means, it's just a story.

It does however, closely reflect how I feel.....

I agree with the sentiment 100%.........

There's just a buttload of other stuff pertaining to this situation... Behind the scenes stuff that really doesn't get discussed by anyone save the politicos and policy makers.
