When a soldier comes home . . .

[Yellow Jacket]

When a soldier comes home, he finds it hard . . .

. . to listen to his son whine about being bored.

. . to keep a straight face when people complain about potholes.

. . to be tolerant of people who complain about the hassle of getting ready for work.

. . to be understanding when a co-worker complains about a bad night's sleep.

. . to be silent when people pray for a new car.

. . to control his panic when his wife tells him he needs to drive slower.

. . to be compassionate when a businessman expresses a fear of flying.

. . to keep from laughing when anxious parents say they're afraid to send their kids off to summer camp.

. . to keep from ridiculing someone who complains about hot weather.
