Happy Veteran’s Day!!!

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost 20 years since that picture of me was taken.  I wish I still had that flat stomach.  Please take some time today to thank our veterans and reflect on how good we have it in America.  After traveling the World and seeing life in over 40 countries I can honestly say that this is the best country in the World to live in.  Yeah we have our problems and challenges but so does every other country.  We have more freedom and choices than anywhere else and we owe it all to the men and women that have served our Country.  Thanks for putting your Country before yourselves.  Happy Veteran’s Day!

I just saw this quote and needed to add it to my post.  It is so appropriate for today.

“It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, Who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag, And whose coffin is draped by the flag, Who allows the protester to burn the flag.” – Rev. O’Brien USMC
