Civilians are what it is all about, Doh... you are exactly the reason the warriors are on the front line. You are the thing of greatest value. Even those civilians who don't recognize the value of the military are the reason soldiers are facing the enemy.

Some ppl were made to be warriors and some weren't ... you do have the strength and courage and you've put yours to work in other ways.

Sometimes I meet ppl my age who tell me they missed being in the military for one reason or another. Some feel like they must also tell me they wished they had not missed the "opportunity." Others tell me they intentionally dodged the service. I don't know why they tell me these things or the reaction they expect from me. What they get is a "Great. I'm glad things worked out for you. You did what you were supposed to do and I did what I was supposed to do."

Thank you for your note... of course, you belong here....your comments are welcomed and treasured. I'm proud of you for leaving me a message.
