To Our Veterans
Thank you for what you have done. Because of you (and men like my Dad - God rest his soul), I am free and I live in the greatest country in the world.
No matter how badly the politicians screw things up and screw us over, it is folks like you who make this country worth living in.
My Dad (and Mom) always impressed upon me that to live in America was a privilege. One that called for a payment, which might be as simple as voting or sitting on a jury, but might be as complex and dangerous as being called to put my body on the line.
Thank the mercy of God, I was never called to be a soldier. And thank you for taking care of that duty for me.
