Re: Thank you Vets

Before the day got away from me I wanted to say thank you to all who have served our country to preserve the freedoms we all enjoy. Sitting here with a tear rolling down my face as I watch a documentary on the Honor Flight program that brings local vets to Washington for special recognition and ceremonies. Many of these guys are WWII vets in their 90's, still smiling and loving life. These are just ordinary guys who decades ago witnessed and fought through hell and then came back, at least the fortunate ones, and assumed ordinary lives as our friends and neighbors. What they did, and endured, is remarkable. Again, thanks to all who have served.

On December 14th, 1993 I made the most important and influential decision of my life:

“I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the uniform code of military justice. So help me God.”

26 years later, I have two sons who have made that same sacrifice. I am proud to have served, and I am proud that my sons chose to serve.

Happy Veterans Day to all those who made the commitment of their minds, bodies, and if needed their lives to this country as part of the greatest fighting force the world has ever known.
