Defender of Freedom

When you’re not in it for yourself then you can say you are truly committed. Why would a young man or woman join the military toady? Well let me let you in on a secret; it’s not for the money.

It’s for pride of country, proud to be an American!
Would you be willing to make the ultimate sacrifice if you weren’t really that committed? No, if you did it for the money we would have to question your commitment.

It’s not for everyone, but until you have served selflessly you don’t understand the sacrifice it takes. It’s often said they don’t raise the youth like they used too and today’s young soldiers present some new leadership challenge because they weren’t taught a lot of things at home.

The best thing we can teach the next generation is how to think for themselves. I count it a pleaser to give them that opportunity. I think every teen today should at least devote 4 years of public service to their country if for nothing else for the life experience and to grow up and learn responsibility real fast.
Take some time today to remember those that made the ultimate sacrifice so you could enjoy the freedoms that you have today.

Proud to Serve!
