Thanks for your praise and support. I appreciate it very much and it is always great to hear it from people that you have been cold, wet, tired and hungry for.
Generally the people of the U.S. dont fully appreciate how good we have it every day and how much we take for granted. I swore that I would never again in my life complain about our way of life after some of what I have seen. Sitting down to drink a beer always proves to be heaven to me.
I figured I would take a second, while I had the podium, to explain this to people. Making them realize that it is not people like me you should be thanking, but this great land we all live in. That is what has made people like us and in turn people like us, making it.
I do not want the spotlight turned to me in any event, but I can say that this country is in good hands with our Military.
While you will not know the great majority of what is done for this country every day, know that it is being well protected by its best and brightest.
Nothing is perfect and that includes our system, but it is the most damned perfect this world has to offer.
Glad to have served you.
