Yes that's me and in honor of our 59,000 brothers and sisters that paid the
ultimate price for their country. chase
"A veteran is someone who, at one point in his or her life wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.' That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country now who no longer understand it."
The picture is well composed but could use a little refreshing. Question, which 59,000 sacrifice are you referring to? I mean, is that how many Americans died in Vietnam? Overall there are more than 59,000 brave souls who fought to defend our freedom in one way or another in various ways and wars.
I would also posit that during war and peace, our law enforcement officers write that same check to protect our domestic blessings from those who would seek to destroy them.
