Are Military Personnel Heroes?

(Answer) YES!!!

We have some really funny and stupid conversations here, yet I wanted to write this thread on a more serious note. I decided to do this after several personal messages I had with SYG (Sum Yung Guy). Most of you know he is active military. Maybe you don’t. I don’t want to reveal a lot of personal info, but I will say he just re-upped for another four years. After I read that, I realized how devoted he is to our country. I realized how devoted he is to our clan and this forum when he let me know it was 2:30 a.m. in Kuwait, and he would finish something the next day. So he serves his country all day long and finds time to bull-shit with us in the late hours of the night. I have never met SYG in person, but I would like to. I can already tell what kind of person he is. I have no doubt the rest of his battalion are a lot like him: Devoted, Courageous, Honest, Brave, Admirable, Trustworthy, and the list goes on…

So why I am I writing this? Because our men and women of the Armed Forces may or may not know how we truly feel.

What is a hero? The dictionary defines hero as “A person noted for feats of courage or nobility of purpose, especially one who has risked or sacrificed his or her life.” I truly believe our military is comprised of heroes. People who leave their families and love ones behind to travel to foreign and many unpopular destinations to do the work needed to provide us with our freedom, and bring a new way of life to those in need. Wars may not be popular, but usually result in peace and freedom.

I hope SYG will share the thoughts of this thread with his fellow soldiers. I want them to know we do care about them and we are extremely proud and appreciative of what they do. Please post your personal thoughts about those brave soldiers who protect our country and our freedom everyday! I know it will mean a lot to them.

Gutter Out….
