OH Heck Yes !!!
Love This Comeback
One of my sons serves in the military.. He is still stateside, here in
California . He called me yesterday to let me know how warm and welcoming
people were to him and his troops everywhere he goes, telling me how
people
shake their hands and thank them for being willing to serve and fight for
not only our own freedoms, but so that others may have them also.
But he also told me about an incident in the grocery store he stopped at
yesterday on his way home from the base. He said that ahead of several
people in front of him stood a woman dressed in a burkha.
He said when she got to the cashier she loudly remarked about the U.S.
Flag lapel pin the cashier wore on her smock The cashier reached up and
touched the pin, and=2 0said proudly, 'Yes, I always wear it and probably
always will.'
The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when she was going to stop
bombing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi.
A gentleman standing behind my son stepped forward. Putting his arm around
my son's shoulders and nodding towards my son, he said in a calm and
gentle
voice to the Iraqi woman:
'Lady, hundreds of thousands of men and women like this young man have
fought and died so that YOU could stand here, in MY country and accuse a
check-out cashier of bombing YOUR countrymen. It is my belief that had you
been this outspoken in YOUR own country, we wouldn't need to be there
today. But, hey, if you have now learned how to speak out so loudly and
clearly, I'll gladly buy you a ticket and pay your way back to Iraq so you
can straighten out the mess in YOUR country that you are obviously here in
MY country to avoid.
Everyone within hearing distance Cheered!
IF YOU AGREE____ Pass this on to all your proud American friends.

I hope and pray that all Americans would be this bold. I am tired of individuals from other countries coming here trying to change our way of life. I am also tired of our government letting them do it! Thanks for the post my fellow American.
