Pinging my fishing and military supporting friends.
I had called my veteran friend late last night, and he kept me on the phone for two hours talking.I wrote this through tears, as I know he won’t be in this world long.
I finally told him, “I guess I better go, don’t want to keep you up all night.”
He assured me he wouldn’t be sleeping, as he is in severe pain. So we talked another hour.
I just had to share my feelings about a wonderful man. We are truly blessed to have men like him in this country.
Thanks.
“This is a different kind of army. If you look at history you’ll see men fight for pay, or women, or some other kind of loot. They fight for land, or because a king makes them, or just because they like killing. But we’re here for something new. I don’t.....this hasn’t happened much in the history of the world. We’re an army going out to set other men free.”
