Being a Veteran
Got this from a buddy of mine, who's also a vet. Don't know who to attribute it to, but I thought I'd share.
"A veteran, whether active duty or guard or reserve, is someone who, at one part in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America" for an amount up to and including their life." |

I realize in my "old age" that I've finally come full circle.

Full circle.....
I began my journey with the Army at age 17. I was an infantryman, and worked my way through rifleman to battalion operations sergeant over a period of 27 years. I have been retired since my last party in 2003 at OIF I. There is not a day that passes that I don't think about my time in the Army. I am a successful businessman now, and I employ a dozen people. My time in the Army gave me the skills to run a business, but my experiences in the Army gave me the wisdom to survive in the business world. My "full circle" came in a moment in OIF I. Now I thank God each day when I awake for another day of life. As November 11 nears, I think of my fallen brothers that would have liked to do the same, but will be forever young. |
