To all of you have served and fought....thank you for doing it so I had the choice to not do it. I respect all who put on that uniform and serve my country. I have my opinions on politics and have been told I'm unpatriotic and I don't support the troops by war hawks because of those opinions. However, I don't waiver on my respect to those who choose that life.
I have a younger brother who will be going into the Marines after he graduates High School next year. I fear for him, but I couldn't be more proud of him. You guys are the ones who fight when the politicians wage the war.
I'm happy that all of you made it back to your families safely. I'm happy that all who are serving currently are doing well.
One charity that I always give to every year is the Wounded Warriors Project. Every year regardless of my financial circumstance and I urge others to do the same.
Again I thank all of you for serving as I'm sure everyone else here does.
