    U.S. Soldier here not iraqi don't freak out ... found this sight by accident but really excited to be around people with the same goals as me ... dropping it off and never looking back

    why would anyone freak out? I'm Iraqi and i find that kind of offensive. Don't let me start.......like seriously....

    We can't thank you enough for everything you (and your family) go through to do a job that most of us don't want to do. THANK YOU. Stay safe, and come home soon! :flowerforyou:

    Thank you so much for your service! I appreciate it more and more all the time. My son just completed Officers training school for the marine Corps. He will commission next Spring. As the mom of a military guy, I thank you, for all the Moms, for your sacrifice. We are all so proud of you!

    Hello, welcome to MFP and a huge thank you for your service. Being a veteran of the Gulf War, I know it isn't easy over there, and now it gets harder and harder each and every day. Please know that all of the Guardians of the Gates of Freedom (Servicemen and Women) who are both near and far from home are in my prayers each and every day.

    Keep your head down, stay safe, and hurry home to your family.

    I really hope people wouldnt freak out if anyone were Iraqi, I have plenty of Iraqi friends here in Australia, most beautiful people ever.

    But, WELCOME and good luck on your journey :-)

    MEEMO from the bottom of my heart I truly apologize ... I truly meant no offense to you. I have been here for over a year now and there are some people who truly don't know the beauty of this country and the kindness of the people here. People will be people and have blinders on at times ... I have to admit I did too when I came here but working with all the neighboring cultures and cities I have learned a valuable lesson ... and it looks like I'm learning another one ... Please accept my sincere apologies

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm new to this, just started today! I've lost 2 stone over the past year or so and am finding it increasing difficult to lose the last stone so would welcome your support. Fingers cross I will be thin by Christmas!! Good luck to you all x
