Gratitude

/p>
p>My thanks goes to Ben Stein for his insights and appreciation of
the efforts of the US Military. We are not so different from the
people he writes of in his essay except for the fact that we chose
to serve for a period in our lives and be ready to answer the call
when the time came. As a Marine for over 20 years, I can say my
choice was actually been a very simple one, a very simple
commitment with consequences that last a life time. To lead one
must also serve. So thanks Ben Stein to you. And thanks for the
book
Tommy and Me
. The book helped me a great deal.
