As a Viet Nam era military veteran, I have a different perspective about things other than most people. Not because of the time frame that I served in the military but because of what I learned while serving in the military. I have learned and observed from my military background that there are two kinds of people: Servants and those wishing to be served. I have also observed that the servants are in the minority.
Let me continue by explaining that I believe all military personnel, police and fire fighters (just to name a few servants) are the true hero servants of our country. They charge into battle every day, they rush into burning buildings when all others are leaving, our military confronts people every day that would do them harm and have no respect for them or their position. Without regard for personal safety, they lay their lives on the line to protect us. They certainly don’t do it for money. Professional athletes do what they do for money. Our military servants don’t do it for fame. Actors and Politicians do that. Often times they carry on without recognition. They do it because it is inside them!
Thanks today to all of our military Veterans for your service to our country.
