LT summed it up well. There are many things in this life I can do and would do...it was always clear to me though that serving in the armed forces was just never in the cards for me. Nonetheless, there has been few moments in my life when I haven't thought about the blessing we have all been given by the remarkable men and women who have never thought of doing anything but serving. With them I also think about and thank all of their families, immediate and extended who have personally supported them and sacrificed in all ways imaginable. Our freedom is truly remarkable and it is easy at times to take for granted the life we experience because of their sacrifice. They are never forgotten to me and I always take the time to walk straight up to many military folks, police and firefighters and personally extend my appreciation.
Bob, I am glad your son returned.
