Our Men & Women In Uniform
« on: February 08, 2003, 03:09:01 PM »
As I sit here in front of my computer, at this exact time, I am thinking of how lucky we are to live in this great country.  To have the opportunity to choose our spouses, follow our career paths and goals, raise a family, and live with the freedoms we all so enjoy.  But, this freedom isn't free.  We will always remember and never forget all Americans who have either served or died for this country.  I respectfully thank both my grandfather, who is now deceased, and my father for serving this great country during WWII and Vietnam.  Fortunately for me, they didn't have to pay the ultimate price for freedom, but were more than willing to do so if needed.  

All this brings me to today.  With war being almost inevitable in the Middle East, I think about the young men and women who are so bravely serving our great country.  These fine people are the ones who serve for us to be able to live out the American dream.  I greatly appreciate the jobs our service men and women are doing, and want to let them know that my thoughts and prayers are with all them in this time of uncertainty.  Go forth and break down the evil that lies within over-ruling dictators and terrorists that are causing this world so much grief.  We're behind you!  Give em hell boys!

i agree--- i just really hope the folks pushing the buttons know and are justified in pushing that button. something inside me takes me back 35 years and doubts them.
