While we may not always agree with the principles or politics of the moment - these fine people put themselves at risk of death to defend and bring honor to this country in which we live.
I wish that there were an existence with no war, no dictators, no genocide and no tyranny, but until there is we have to be vigilant and sometimes fight. It's not something that a veteran takes lightly though they are sometimes accused of doing so. I like to think think that on this holiday at least that people across the country can put aside their political positions and see the true costs of winning and keeping our freedom and our right to disagree and dissent.
Thank you Marines. Thank you Army. Thank you Navy. Thank you Air Force. Thank you Gaurd.
I hope those of you who are home are enjoying what you have fought for and those of you away make it home soon to do so yourselves.
A personal shout-out to my friend and Mark who is somewhere in the hills of Afghanistan and Sam who is on his 4th tour in Iraq.
Cheers,
David
