Here's to my dad, my uncles, my brother
and to all of those who fought in wartime
and served in non-war time,
to protect, liberate or defend
our country
or other countries
who needed America.
Whether we are in favor of war
is not really the question.
In a perfect world,
war
might not ever be necessary,
but,
I believe those who were
proud, brave, strong, willing and able
have given us the nation
we enjoy today.
I come from a family of folks
who may not have dreamed they'd ever have to go to war,
but, who did it anyway when they were called.
It wasn't their career choice
as with some,
but they made themselves available,
answered the call
and
fought bravely
and
were wounded
for America.
I'm saying thank you today
to all of you,
past, present and future.
God bless you!
