Easter Flowers
Holidays overseas can be very difficult, as the loneliest and homesick Soldier on the planet is the American Soldier. This is because they have the most to miss, the most to dream about, and the most to lose. This loneliest status should be a warning to the enemy that it is anything but, a weakness. Fighting for something one loves is the most powerful motivation that there is in life. Seeing it otherwise has been the bane of our enemies since the beginning of our country … and the strength of our troops. There is no shame in being homesick, lonely, and missing the ones you left back home, it is a privilege to have that someone to miss. You above all others know what really matters in life, as one does when his or her life is on the line. This is what you must carry with you everyday, every time you go out there … it will bring you back.
