A day to reflect on all those that made our life here possible.

Thanks, why is it that people that haven't served are the first to say this?

Being a soldier is a thankless job. Don't believe me? Take a tour of Arlington Cemetary. Take a walk by "The Wall". I knew when I signed up for that it would be a life changing experience and that I might be called into a conflict that would require the Ultimate Sacrifice. My country is deserving of my service and I'm glad I participated.

Saying and doing are two drastic actions. Only one of those two require self sacrifice. Take a second today to ponder just how close we almost came to having someone like Kerry run this nation. A man that had no regard for his actions during a time of conflict. A commissioned officer that knowingly and willingly met with the enemy of his nation and provided aid and comfort.
