Always Remember
Since today is Veteran’s day, I wanted to take a minute to honor all the veterans out there that risked their lives to protect this country. Thank you. Never having served in the military myself, I can not fathom what it would be like to be in a war zone. But I do know, next to what you all went through, my problems are pathetic in comparison. While watching the History Channel today, I saw many shows about wars, stemming from WWI to Operation Iraqi Freedom. The fear that those men must have felt not knowing if they were in a snipers sight, or walking next to IED on a road would have paralyzed me. It seems surviving a war is a winning lottery ticket, as it just takes one bomb, one bullet to end your life. It is unbelievable the amount of sacrifice soldiers make for this country. I don’t care if civilians agree with a war or not, those soldiers are just doing what they are told. I am ashamed that my house is the only one on my block that had a flag out today. People need to stop immortalizing professional athletes as heroes, and use that man or woman, who may not run a fast 40 yard dash, or have a sick jump shot, but put their lives on the line, so we all can watch sports, write blogs, and be free. God Bless all you brave people, I for one, will never forget you.
