I recently traveled though El Paso,TX airport coming back from a family member funeral in California.  As I was walking down the lobby of the airport, I was amazed by the happy spirited services men.   They truly touched my heart by their smile's they had on their faces, a proud group of U.S Navy people who told me that they  were soon to be leaving to go to "Afghanistan".  I had to stop them, I was compelled to thank them , I wanted to show them how much I was grateful to them  them for serving and protecting us.  It gave me such great pleasure to shake and hug these wonderful young folk's.  I told them I was surely honored by their presence.  I told them I would be praying for their safe return from Afghanistan.

I believe in my heart that everyone should always acknowledge our troop's as we see them in our pathway, they are important to our peace, after all they are the men who protect all of our lives.  We never know whether on not we will ever see them again, they should be rewarded in advance by our thank you's and hug's.  I know I will never forget there eye's and expression when I was so excited to shake and hug them.  They all had the biggest smile on their face's. I felt a chill as I embraced them, feeling there happy spirit, strong and vibrated will to serve and protect for my freedom.

Let me say I am so thankful to them with tear's to my eye's for this pleasurable moment.

Let us always' salute our service troop everywhere, it right to show our appreciate!
