America...the land of the free,because of the brave


well since i was a little dude i've always had a fondness for all things military. i do consider myself pretty patriotic and today, on veteran's day, i wish to honor the many brave men and women who have sacrificed much to serve our country. from the sacrifices made by our forefathers to achieve independence, to those today who are serving in iraq and afghanistan, i honor the patriots who have defended and are defending the freedoms we enjoy. i recently finished watching "band of brothers" which shows some of the challenges of E Company (Easy Company), 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment,101st Airborne Division during the europe campaign of world war 2...they went through quite a bit. i think a chosen generation really did carry our country through that tough time. i am humbled when i think about the many who have given all for the cause of this great nation that i love. i am proud to be an American. may God bless Her always.
