BeachRat Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 So I had posted a link to a grotesque video, but this is a better way to express what I was feeling.We all get to hang out here, and shoot the stuff about cars, life, whatever. We do this free from fear, and we take it for granted far too often. I would simply like to take the opportunity to thank all those who are serving, and have served so that I can go to sleep tonight knowing I'll be alive and free in the morning. These young men and women sacrifice so much, and you can certainly see how much they sacrifice with five minutes spent on any media website.So thank you to anyone and everyone sitting somewhere they'd rather not be, for we shall never forget that freedom is not free.

BeachRat Posted July 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Aww come on videos rule.Google "American Hell in Iraq." I won't post the link again. It was shot by "the other side," and it was definitely graphic. I know Jason put up the one of the Apache helicopter taking out a truck with it's 20mm cannon, but this one is worse. There's no blatant desecration of remains of anyone in your vid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMDII Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Courage is facing your fears, and doing something when everyone else loses it.The soldiers Psalm-Psalm 91We live within the shadow of the Almighty, sheltered by the God who is above all gods.This I declare, that he alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I am trusting him. For he rescues you from every trap and protects you from the fatal plague. He will shield you with his wings! They will shelter you. His faithful promises are your armor. Now you don't need to be afraid of the dark any more, nor fear the dangers of the day; nor dread the plagues of darkness, nor disasters in the morning.Though a thousand fall at my side, though ten thousand are dying around me, the evil will not touch me. I will see how the wicked are punished, but I will not share it. For Jehovah is my refuge! I choose the God above all gods to shelter me. How then can evil overtake me or any plague come near? For he orders his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will steady you with their hands to keep you from stumbling against the rocks on the trail. You can safely meet a lion or step on poisonous snakes, yes, even trample them beneath your feet!For the Lord says, "Because he loves me, I will rescue him; I will make him great because he trusts in my name. When he calls on me, I will answer; I will be with him in trouble and rescue him and honor him. I will satisfy him with a full life and give him my salvation."
