What are you waiting for?
For six years of my life, I was Military. Army Reserve, but hey, it's all good. I am proud of those years. I was one of the fortunate ones that joined, served, and was discharged and didn't have to risk my life dodging bullets.
Thing is, if I would have had to, I would have done so with out hesitation. My thoughts are this: If you are willing to enjoy the freedoms of this country, you should be willing to stand up and defend it.
I am a supporter of the U.S. Military. 100% no fail, no falter. Each man and woman that serves, no matter what branch, has made the choice to serve something greater than themselves, and has decided that the country in which we live is worth the risk of their lives to defend.
Situations like what happened last week at Ft. Hood always hit me close to home. My heart and jaw dropped when I heard the news that merely hours from me, 13 people were shot and killed.
It is easy to look back and point blame, saying, "Well they should have done this, they should have done that, why didn't they discover him earlier?"
Thing is, no one is perfect.
I know I am all over the place on this blog, but it is just something I need to get out. Today, when you are out, and you see some one who serves, or who has served, walk up to them, offer your hand and say, "Thank You."
We might not always agree with the government, and we might think things they make our military do are wrong, but remember, each soldier, sailor, airman or marine has put their life on the line, not for that government, not for the president, not for congress... But for each and every citizen of the United States.
Happy Veteran's Day... and Hooah!
Go Army... Beat Navy.
