| Hey everyone,
I hope you are all doing better than i am, im still stuck here in the prison they call Zamboanga City in the Southern Part of the Phillipines. Nothing is new, but each day is a day closer to home, and to freedom. I have some stuff to get off my chest so here we go...I hope you all understand the sacrifices the military make for you, so you can sleep safely at night under the blanket of freedom. Im not saying me personally, but the men and women who put their ass on the line for the peple of the USA. There is no other country like the USA. You will never find a better place or a better life than where you are right now.
If you ever think that you have it bad, think of the little 6yr old boy i saw lying on the side of the road here. Nobody cared to scoop him up or move him and he was still there 2 weeks after i first saw him, covered in mub, and had a trash bag draped over his body. If you think you have it bad you should really come here and see the people dying of everythng you can think of. From aids to lepracy, they have it here. try sleeping under a cardboard box for a roof, and a staw bed in a country where it ranis more than there is sunshine, then come tell me you have it bad. Im not trying to say your all whiners, but think about what you have before you start talking about what you dont have. Im sorry this was a bitter entry, but someone really got me frustrated today because they were bored. If you want to know what boredom is, do what I do, stand in a sandbag bunker, wtih 40lbs of gear on, a bulletproof vest, and a fully loaded weapon for 12 hours a day, and then when you do get time off put on some boots and jeans and try to sleep, cause thats what the marines here have to do. Im sure its much worse in Iraq so ALWAYS count your blessings.
On another note My heart go's out to The Pellitier family, and I was sad to hear of the rescent passing of Mr. Victor Pellitier. I will always remember the times we would have cookouts at his house, party in the basement with him, and of course the drunken 4 wheeler stunt contest. 
I miss all of you guys. take care of yourselves. and drink some for me. |
