Normally I enjoy being... well myself on Thursday and writing some senseless babble. I realize that it may make some you worry about my well being, but I am amused by myself. Its kind of like playing with myself, no pun intended. My grandfather taught me that if you can't dazzle them with brilliance you should baffle them with bullshit. I am good at part of that, I will let ya'll decide which part.
Nevertheless, today I will put aside my usual whimsical ways to pay tribute to the women and men that have sacrificed so much, so that people like me can express themselves in what ever manner they so choose in this country. My family and I have been blessed to have had the opportunity recently to get to know two different families that the husbands were Marines severely injured in Iraq. Several of their fellow soldiers did not survive. I find it hard to comprehend when I have had the chance to discuss with them their experiences that they both say "they were just doing their jobs". When you go to your back yard barbeques and parties this weekend please say a quick prayer for all of our service men and women because somewhere out there, there is a little girl with bows in her hair wondering how her Mom, Dad, Sister, Brother, or loved one is doing and wishing she could be with them. Some will never come home, while off just doing their job. God bless America and I hope that all of you have a happy and safe Fourth of July.
