I normally don't do this but I'll share some spam email with you...
Subject: FW: I LOVE THIS COMEBACK...
Never heard it put better!!! AMEN!!!!
I LOVE THIS COMEBACK...
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 d istance cheered!
IF YOU AGREE... Pass this on to all of your proud American friends.
I just did.
