To my Brothers in Arms

No words can represent the gratitude I have for those serving, and those who have served. Equally, many of us will never fully understand what you have given up or experienced. What connects us, however, is a belief that America and her ideals are worthy of protection -- that liberty, freedom, and equality are more than just words.

A special heart-felt thanks goes out to the men and women from the Greatest Generation who served in WWII. My Great Uncle was at Pearl Harbor when it was attacked, and even until his death he would not speak of that day -- but every Veterans Day or Memorial Day his tears spoke volumes. May God smile upon you, and may this Nation forever remember your service.
 
A very big THANK YOU from the Cavanah Family to all those who served past, present and future. I don't know it can be said any better than how Garvey put it so I won't try. Well done, sir.
 
Amen my brothers. Have a Marine nephew who has just left for the sandbox. Blue Star Service Banner just went up.

Semper Fi.

All those that came before make it possible for all of us to go forward now.
 
For those who served...I Thank You!

For those who are serving... Be safe, keep strong, I Thank You!

For those who will serve... If you feel it is your duty, I back you, If you feel it is your calling I back you, if you feel you had no choice, I back you and I Thank You for you will be the one to protect our great nation in years to come.
 
To my fallen Brothers and Sisters in arms: You are not forgotten. I miss you and quietly reflect often on the magnitude of your effect on my world. Your loved ones are cared for and part of the family. Rest in peace.

I had a conversation the other day that left me shaking my head. After Mr. Obama was elected this person said it was the first time he was proud of his country. I told him he was making enemies with statements like that. He responded with a diatribe about how after the tragedy of 911 all the flag waving was ridiculous and that that energy could have been spent better in other areas. He continued on about how every great American gets assassinated and that doesn't make him proud and that this country is made up of a racist population.
Okay... now read this carefully. He said "What makes this country great" "isn't flag waving; it's about freedom of choice and freedom of speech and belief". He ended with this, "But if you can appreciate my constitutional right to express what my beliefs are and that they are totally different than yours. Well then and only then can you call yourself a True American."

It's true. Every word.

To my fellow veterans, I posted this for you. I hope you all had as fine a day as I did... wrapped in our constitutional rights.

You've written a lot of good stuff over the years, but that, is the most profound thing you've ever written.

Thanks Doc. I was angry at first but then he wrapped himself in the American Flag and claimed constitutional privilege. That gave truth to the lie.
