A Salute to Our Troops

A salute to all our troops, past, present and future and to those who support them.

I served during the First Gulf War (stateside) and was greatly enriched by the experience.

The duties and honors of service are enriched and the politics of war improved when all of a nation's children bear the responsibilities of service.

Have you served? If not, why not?

Everyone should serve who can, and everyone should strive to act and vote in manners that only put our troops in harms way when it is required and unavoidable to make us safer at home and when our brothers and sisters in other lands are being indisputably and indiscriminately murdered and it is practicable and within our capacity and means to end such suffering in a manner that is limited and brings about greater civility and peace.
