Some of you knew this already, others did not.
We do not ask for much. We take a petty paycheck. We take bosses telling us how to not only do our job, but how to live our lives. We put up with people every day saying that we are risking our lives, and even losing our lives, for nothing.
There are many of us out there that feel it is all worth it.
In the honor of knowing I have done my part to keep you safe, I rest assured that whether or not I die, I have made a difference in your life.
For many of you... I don't know you. I have never shook your hand, kissed your cheek, or heard you speak to me.
However, tomorrow I will pick up my rifle as I Did the day before, and I will stake my life against your well being, because that is what I do, and that is what I believe in.
I took an oath to protect you and I plan to uphold it. I will take the fight to the enemy and I will keep them from your homes to the best of my ability. In my own way, I love you, and I just hope you are proud.
Please watch the video.
