young men

I got this in an email yesterday. I don’t know who wrote it. It reinforced my faith in this country. You should read it.

Martin Savidge of CNN, embedded with the 1st Marine battalion, was talking with 4 young marines near his foxhole this morning live on CNN. He had been telling the story of how well the marines had been looking out for and taking care of him since the war started. He went on to tell about the many hardships the marines had endured since the war began and how they all look after one another. He turned to the four and said he had cleared it with their commanders and they could use his video phone to call home. The 19 year old marine next to him asked Martin if he would allow his platoon sergeant to use his call to call his pregnant wife back home whom he had not been able to talk to in three months. A stunned Savidge who was visibly moved by the request shook his head and the young marine ran off to get the sergeant. Savidge recovered after a few seconds and turned back to the three young marines still sitting with him and asked which one of them would like to call home first, the marine closest to him responded with out a moments hesitation ” Sir, if is all the same to you we would like to call the parents of a buddy of ours, Lance Cpl Brian Buesing of Cedar Key, Florida who was killed on 3-23-03 near Nasiriya to see how they are doing”. At that Martin Savidge totally broke down and was unable to speak. All he could get out before signing off was “Where do they get young men like this?”.

    This last post is a little odd, but hey whatever floats your boat.

    In South Africa, our national service is no longer mandatory, and as a young woman on the dating scene, I can honestly say, there is a HUGE difference between the type of man who went to the army, and the man who did not.

    Those who did are upstanding responsible men, and those who didn’t are little boys, more concerned about who has the most toys.

    I cannot imagine what it must be like as a wife to have your husband away from home fighting in another country. All those famalies who are at home waiting, you are in my prayers.
