If you follow my friendfeed you can tell I spent a lot of this morning catching up on about 200 Wall Street Journal op-ed pieces and entering my own comments and commentary. Towards the end of my stack I came across an op-ed piece by Carl Rove. Now before you take a look at the name and refuse to read it I ask you to please take a look at this non-partisan piece. It is all about giving thanks and be thankful for our troops, something that I hope we can all do regardless of our political views. The quote below from Rove says it all
When I did, I felt awe that such men and women exist, and gratitude that they put themselves in harm’s way for our nation. I hope America continues to be worthy of such staggering service and sacrifice.
May the New Year bring safety to all who wear our country’s uniform, success in the missions they so passionately believe in, peace and comfort to their families, and reunion with all whom they love.
Please take time to read the full piece the courage and self sacrifice of the men and women of the armed forces should be on our minds everyday as we exercise the freedom that they guarantee.
