| Re: American Heroes
Those who will never serve can say what they want about the war, the President, or whoever. In a larger sense, their opinions remain irrelevant. What will never change is that Soldiers, sailors, Marines, and airmen will go where we send them to do what we need them to do. They alone will face nightmares that the rest of their fellow citizens will never even contemplate facing. They will make sacrifices that could never be asked of those whose idea of sacrifice is missing a Sunday football game. They will lose their comrades, and parts of themselves. No one made them sign up for this: they chose it. They chose it because they love the rest of us, and because they chose to serve in harm's way, we can all make the choices we want.
Honor them. |
