Just thinking...Why do we .......................

You know....today has been a BIG day for the family and fans of Michael Jackson ... all over the TV, news etc....I had been thinking, then my nephew put it in perspective on his facebook....these are his words....I couldn't have put it any better....
Jake Carter:
"is wondering why our fallen soldiers don't get this much recognition, This Michael Jackson death thing is getting ridiculous. Our fallen soldiers defend our freedom and our constitution so that we can have crap like this! Pathetic!!!"

Krissly Carter also had the same thought on facebook:
"ok enough with the Michael Jackson stuff....too much..... Fallen Soldier's don't get this much recognition....and they deserve it!"
I think they have a good point, and they also have a right to feeling the way they do....they are a family that do a lot for our country.....



I swiped this picture from Jake's site....here he is with his little daughter Kezlyn....as you can see, Jake himself has been in the service of our Country several times...and is currently working in the military ... he has had to leave his wife and daughter to be with his unit and serve us....he knows of those fallen soldiers who gave the ultimate..their lives for our country...their families also mourn and miss them...have they had the same recognition as Michael Jackson? What, really, has Michael Jackson done for his country..he definitely is not a hero? Music is a wonderful thing and he was good at it, but did he serve his country the same as these fallen soldiers....just put it in perspective....makes you think about what, and who is really important. Of course, like other's have said, those true hero's do what they do for a reason not attention....still...

Thank you Jake, Krissly and Kezlyn and thank you to all those who serve our country and who have given their lives for us and this wounderful country...we love you!
