You are probably pouring your morning coffee, but this American soldier is looking right at you.
He is awake for the four in the morning shift that nobody back home ever pictures. It is just him and the quiet. There is a shirt washed in a bucket and dried on a wire nearby. He is far away, living in those cold hours.
Play the video again. Look closely at his face just before he asks you to hit the follow button. You can see the dirt on his uniform and the tired look in his eyes. He is serving right now, enduring the heavy distance and the long hours.
He says that American soldiers like him are easy to forget. That is a hard thing to hear. Our troops are out there right now, in places we do not think about during our busy days. They just want a connection to the world they left behind.
A simple greeting seems so small to us. For his squad, it changes the entire day. It is about knowing someone back home is listening.
Please leave a comment if you watched this more than once. Let him know he is seen. 🫡
