I want to thank all those who recognized veterans this weekend. They had us stand at church. They said some nice words. That’s very welcome.
Having said that I think that we need to have an understanding that there’s a difference between guys like me who put in their time and were either in the states or in the rear echelons and never came under fire compared to those who actually went out into the field and not only were shot at but might have been wounded and had to shoot back.
It’s a whole different world. If you’re looking for someone to thank then give double thanks to those who actually put their lives on the line. I was in a war zone. I went places where people have been killed at other times. I on the other hand never experienced what it was to actually risk my life.
Thank you, you’re welcome. And I thank those who actually served as warriors.
