It seems to me that there far too few people who actually sit back and think about what every single member of the military has done in signing up to fight tyranny.
In effect, each and every person who signed up, who had a mother and father, brother and/or sister, wife/husband, girlfriend/boyfriend, son and/or daughter did the following:
I hereby issue a cheque to the Government Of ___ for an amount up to and including my life.
Very few people seem to recognise this simple fact.
Brave men and women sign up every day to serve their respective countries. Coffins and wounded warriors are returned home, yet N.O.B.O.D.Y. seems to realise the simple fact that they had the bravery to write that cheque.
We all need to realise that those who stand up for freedom, who have faced the horrors of war so that we can have a latte at the corner cafe, should be honoured, cared for, and loved.
