This week marks the anniversary of when our boys stormed the beaches at Normandy and went on to bring about the end of Nazi Germany. We should all take time to honor and celebrate these heroes. If you know one of these brave men who is still alive, take some time to thank him and his service to our country, still the greatest on Earth.
But don't stop there. Our boys over in the Middle East are just as heroic and are doing just as great a service to our country today. Let's honor them as well. Hell, all of our servicemembers are heroes. They are serving and giving of themselves in a way that few of us outside the military do. Take some time to thank the young men and women who are proudly serving America today. It could be just as simple as approaching someone in uniform and thanking him for his service.
I was in the Army, not the Marines, but I will borrow their motto and say Semper Fi to all the military.
Thank you for your service.
