When a soldier comes home, he finds it hard….
..to listen to his son whine about being bored.  
\"clip_image002\"<\/a>
….to keep a straight face when people complain about potholes.  
\"clip_image003\"<\/a>
         to be tolerant of people who complain about the hassle of getting ready for work.  
\"clip_image004\"<\/a>
…to be understanding when a co-worker complains about a bad night’s sleep.  
\"clip_image005\"<\/a>
..to be silent when people pray to God for a new car.  
\"clip_image006\"<\/a>
….to control his panic when his wife tells him he needs to drive slower.  
\"clip_image007\"<\/a>
..to be compassionate when a businessman expresses a fear of flying.  
\"clip_image008\"<\/a>
….to keep from laughing when anxious parents say they’re afraid to  
send their kids off to summer camp.   
\"clip_image009\"<\/a>
….to keep from ridiculing someone who complains about hot weather.    
\"clip_image010\"<\/a>
….to control his frustration when a colleague gripes about his coffee being cold.  
\"clip_image011\"<\/a>
….to remain calm when his daughter complains about having to walk the dog.  
\"clip_image012\"<\/a>
…..to be civil to people who complain about their jobs.    
\"clip_image013\"<\/a>
…..to just walk away when someone says they only get two weeks of vacation a year.    
\"clip_image014\"<\/a>
….to be forgiving when someone says how hard it is to have a new baby in the house. <\/strong>
The only thing harder than being a Soldier…<\/strong><\/b> <\/strong>
