On this day Veterans Day 2007, I would like to personally give my thanks to all the men and women who sacrificed life and limb in support of their country!
Military service is never easy. The physical training can be brutal. It takes you away from your loved ones. Often you are required to support government policy's that you may not always believe in. Still, your commitment is to serve. Your hope, is that in the end the world will be a better place.
You worked hard, put your life in danger, for the opportunity to serve your country. You did it for you, your neighbors, your family. Your job took you away from your loved ones, into the darkness of war. You were there as brothers and sisters died on the battlefield. The memories are dark. It sometimes hurts to remember. But, remembering those who fought our battles is something that must be done!
Rarely are there winners or losers in war. There are just normal people like you, trying to survive, trying to do the right thing, and trying to make it safely home to your loved ones. Many of you made it home. Many others didn't.
THANK YOU for your willingness to sacrifice, for your heroism in responding to your call to duty, and for putting your life on the line, for me!
Best wishes to you, your friends, your family!
