I got this as an email and had to share it with all of you. (Thanks, W”B”S.)

WHEN A SOLDIER COMES HOME:

When a soldier comes home, he finds it hard….

…to listen to his son whine about being bored:

…to keep a straight face when people complain about potholes:

…To be tolerant of people who complain about the hassle of getting ready for work:

…to be understanding when a co-worker complains about a bad night’s sleep:

…to be silent when people pray to God for a new car:

…to control his panic when his wife tells him he needs to drive slower:

…to be compassionate when a businessman expresses a fear of flying:

…to keep from laughing when anxious parents say they’re afraid to send their kids off to summer camp:

…to keep from ridiculing someone who complains about hot weather:

…to control his frustration when a colleague gripes about his coffee being cold:

…to remain calm when his daughter complains about having to walk the dog:

…to be civil to people who complain about their jobs:

…to just walk away when someone says they only get two weeks of vacation a year:

…to be forgiving when someone says how hard it is to have a new baby in the house:

The only thing harder than being a Soldier…

Is loving one:
