Here, here! I second all your thoughts and thank your family for their service.
We can always disagree with the people who order the war but we should always thank those who put on a uniform and unselfishly protect our rights and freedoms. And to those families who have loved one on far away battlefields, we thank you for your sacifice of not being able to be with them to protect all of us every day.
With all rights comes responsibilities and while many times those with rights don't accept their responsibilities, those who put on a uniform every day take on the burden of protecting those who they do not know, those who they may not agree with on many issues, but they know that every freedom is worth protecting, everyone is worth saving and everyone is someone's child.
Thank you to all the active men and woman in uniform; we remember those who made the ultimate sacifice for the rest of us and we thank their families for loving them and caring for them.
