This is exactly how I feel about it - its just the career I chose.

We'll agree to disagree. I put my life on the line for the things that are more important than that life - so that my family can live in a country like ours, and so that country can remain free for all who live in it.

For those of you out there that think a simple "thank you" to a service member really doesn't mean anything in the long run, it really does. Every time I see it written or hear it spoken, it brightens my day just a little bit more.
