| Snake-eater ![]() | This was from several years ago, but it is still applicable today. "Today is Armed Forces Day, a day we set aside to remember and thank those Americans who wear our country's uniform and who serve our nation in so many places around the globe. Many are far from home, and things you and I take for granted -- family, friends, all the good things that go with life in our hometowns -- they've given all these things up for the sake of a challenge and to answer a call. The challenge is the task of defending freedom, and the call they've answered is summarized in three words: duty, honor, country. So, on Armed Forces Day, let's remember the debt we owe those in uniform. ... I know I speak for all Americans when I say to our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen: We thank you for the job you're doing and the sacrifices you're making for all of us at home. And we're grateful and proud of you for your devotion to country and to the cause of freedom." --Ronald Reagan

| Racy Ol' Lady ![]() | This is still worth saying - perhaps more than ever. Thanks for posting it, Paul. We should all remember that our safety is in the hands of our military - and they are so young to have such dedication. God bless them, young and older - and God bless you veterans, including my husband, who have done so much to maintain the security of this nation.

They have found a lot of writings by Ronald Reagan that indicate he was a very smart dude. I believe there's a book out with them in it.
