Heroes

I do not post enough on what I think of our military fighting overseas or for those who have returned home. It is Sunday. A day of reflection. Allow me to say that I love our men and women over there and the respect I have for them and for what they are doing for us is tremendous. That said, there are blogs with many connections to the activities over there that give excellent insight, John at Castle Argghhhh! and Matty at Blackfive, being just two of them.

All who serve our country honorably are heroes. But then there are those who are HEROES.

John has an excellent post today on Heroes. It’s a good read. On one hand you have PFC Jessica Lynch, a hero in the fact she was serving our country, but THEN you have SFC Ray Smith, potential Medal of Honor recipient, post-humously. Have you heard of him? I thought not. Take a read over at Castle Argghhhh!

Well, sort of. It was emotionally difficult to read, but I felt like a better person for having read it.; 7:04 AM
