Why Men in the Military are the Strongest

Thank you for fighting for our country.

Can you imagine what it is like to go to a foreign country? Okay, you probably can. However, can you imagine going over to a foreign country and fighting for our country? Unless you are also in the army probably not. There are many different types of men in this world. They all do different things, and that is what makes the world unique. They can range from football players, gamers, off-roaders, etc. The strongest men in the world, though, are the men who are in the military. Everyone knows at least one person who is or was in the military.

Men who are in the military are the ones standing up and fighting for our country. They work hard every single day, and they still don’t get the credit that they deserve. Recently I saw a picture of a soldier’s casket coming off a commercial airplane from the luggage compartment. A body of a soldier should not be treated like luggage. They go through so much when they are overseas. They should have a better way to get back to the United States.

When a soldier goes overseas, they aren’t going there to see the sights of that country. They aren’t living in four-star hotels, and they have little internet connection. They do fight in towns, but they live primarily in the middle of nowhere. I can’t even begin to imagine what they go through overseas. However, I do know when they get home they have major PTSD. It takes the love and support of their loved ones to stand by them through whatever type of PTSD they have. Just because when a soldier comes home and they have PTSD doesn’t mean that they are weak. They are tremendously strong for going overseas to fight for their country, something that many of us will never be able to do. When I meet someone who is in the military, I have tremendous respect for them. We all need to do the same.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
