So in my IGNORANCE I sort of chuckled at the thought of a "mighty" little bird

I stand corrected!

Because the freedom to live the life I do is not free, it is a result of your service and sacrifice, thank you.
The freedom to mold the future of this nation for my sons and daughter exists because of your service and sacrifice, thank you.
The greatness of everything good this nation represents is because of your service and sacrifice, thank you.

Thank you.

I had the same thought's when I looked at my orders. In the ready room, there was a giant picture of one with a grasshopper impaled on a barbed wire fence.

Thank you veterans! My dad fought in Korea, and was proud to be a Legionnaire. It was a big part of his life and who he was as a person. He never liked talking about it much, but we got to read some of the letters he wrote to my mother while he was over there. He was on the front lines and even won some medals. The one letter he wrote talked of a patrol he was on where they ambushed some "gooks". I always knew he fought and killed the enemy, but to read his words about it brought a new perspective and respect for him as a man. Some war movies, the most realistic ones, he didn't like to watch. They must have brought back some vivid memories.

Reminds me of the quote from Eastwood in Unforgiven, 'Hell of a thing killing a man, you take away all he's got, and he's ever gonna have.'
