The Guys with the big guns and the nerves of steel

Today folks,

Today is not a "holiday" like so many call it. It is not a day off for some. Especially those that it is for, most of them currently serving don't have the day off.

Today is a day of remembrance, a day to remember all of those that paid the ultimate sacrifice. And a day to remember those that would have, in the event something went bad. Anyone that would and currently is ready to pick up a gun and fight for our country, and the basic human rights of others around the world. We take it for granted what we have over here, and it is our job to allow others to live lives without fear.

I know several people who are serving, have served and those that are currently still on there reserve portion of their service, and whom are preparing to go back to the middle east. It scares me to think that at any point in time several of them could not return, and I don't like that, but they know that is the life they chose. They are, and always will be far braver than I.

Regardless of how you feel about war, you need to support our vets. They fought for your right to dislike the war after-all.

So, why doesn't everyone go ahead and pull their heads out of their behinds for a short while and think about something a little bigger than yourselves. Say a prayer, take a moment of silence, or just walk up to a random person in uniform and say thank you.
