YAY for America! Ooooh, how I love my America. I think that most people can say that. Oh you know unless we're talking about some sheltered-very liberal-riot going-tree hugging-bra burning-extreme college student at Berkeley, who hates America for all the terrible things we impose on all the rest of the world... blaaah blaaah blooog. AAAANYWAYS. Yeah, America. Land of the Free. Home of the Brave. Over time and travels, I've come to appreciate my home country more and more. The rights and freedoms that we so easily enjoy here, are usually lacking or non-existent in foreign countries, and I know it's somewhat cliche to say, but we tend to take those rights and freedoms for granted.
So in the spirit of America and all that it represents, we all know that we wouldn't be where we are today with out our military. And having several members of my family in one branch or the other, I'd like to say THANK YOU for all that you've done, do, will do and most of all, for what you've sacraficed for my personal rights and privlidges.
