I know the “official” day is past butwould like to say it anyway.
I used to think I was grown and knew everything I needed to know, back in those days. Even at 18 with the draft, I felt I was grown enough to fight wars if need be, so I enlisted.
I look at these kids now and my heart hurts for them. So much of life ahead of them, and they risk so much every day, for me. Makes me proud and scared for them at the same time. I cannot imagine being the one to make the call to send them in harms way.
God Bless our troops that are and have been overseas.
