Thanksgiving on Memorial Day

It’s Memorial Day, and tonight we watched “We Were Soldiers.”

If war in reality is even remotely close to what we watched tonight (I suspect it is much worse), I would like to say this:

To all soldiers everywhere, past, present and future, fighting for freedom and democracy, and to their families…I am deeply humbled and awed by the amazing sacrifice you make every day for the rest of us. You have my deepest gratitude and respect. Thank you, and God bless you.
