“The Price They Pay For Our Country”

The ReadyWriter

American soldiers and Marines walking combat patrols in Afghanistan have suffered a surge of gruesome injuries, losing one or both legs and often their genitals to crude homemade bombs the Taliban insurgents bury in dirt roads and pathways.

Insurgents often make the bombs using a plastic bucket packed with explosive ammonium nitrite fertilizer and a simple “trigger” made with two sticks of wood or a discarded plastic bottle that completes a circuit and detonates when crushed. The crude components make the bombs more difficult to detect than those once made with metal parts.

Today is memorial day, so in the midst of your barbeques, social excursions and beach outings, reflect on those who are serving our country; for this is what today is really all about.

The lost of our their limbs and their lives our service men and women face, is the sacrifice they make each day.

        Hi Acquitta,
        The last movie I saw was “Jumping The Broom” and I did blog about that movie search my archives. I haven’t had time to movie hop lately but try to keep up with those movies that interest me and the movie (bridesmaid) does not. Hope this answers your question.

        Hello to everyone whose comments will come after mine.

  5. a real glimpse of the true cost these wars have on our soldiers.

    What a huge price these men and women have paid.

    Whatever your politics,d­rop them for today and honor all those who have sacrificed and continue to sacrifice for this country.

    1. “The Price They Pay” is an excellent headline…..you go Trace!!!!!!!!

      The price they’re paying is far to high. The only difference they’re making is dying and being wounded in numbers beyond comprehens­ion, then don’t receive the treatment from our gov. they deserve. It’s a lot of private industries fitting these boys with prosthetic­s. God how sad, their lives are ruined, and for what???

  13. “Thank you” to all the men and women serving us, past and present.

    “Thank you” to their families. There are no other words.
