Today is a very special day for all members of the United States military, no matter what branch they're a member of. Today is VETERAN'S DAY!!! Although I am a member of the United States Army, I do not consider myself a veteran as I do know many, many people from the past and present who are true veterans. The real ones would be the men and women serving our country in the combat zones in Iraq and Afghanistan. I tip my hat and salute them all the way. Charles "Otis" Green.......you are missed everyday. My other father....I LOVE YOU as the day is long and miss you every single day. To all those veterans from so many years ago, everyday is a special day because you all did your parts to help keep our country safe at night so my generation can come behind you and take your places in our nation's defense. I feel I am doing my part to help keep our country safer at night, so my family can grow up in a world where they have the freedom and the right to be themselves, express their voices and minds freely, without the thought of having to worry about being persecuted or reprimanded. Thus is the beauty of our country....it is founded on the idea of its inhabitants being able to have the FREEDOM to pursue their dreams and be anything they want to be.
This post won't be long, but this is a shout out to ALL VETERANS all over the world.......HAPPY VETERANS DAY to all.....and to my fallen comrades-in-arms at Ft. Hood, Texas......my prayers are with your families at this time. You were taken too soon from this world by someone who did not know his way, but the Lord has called you home to be with him so you can watch over us as we make it through another day. While I did not have the honor of knowing and of you, you will all be missed so much.
