Every day, it seems, I complain about work.  But I have an okay paying job that essentially lets me sit at a computer all day and update this website.
Every day, it seems, I complain about my commute.  But I have a 15 minute drive over paved roads without risk of life.
Every day, it seems, I complain about finances, but at least there are finances to complain about, a country that allows me to spend (or mis-spend) how I see fit, and work as hard as I need to earn the income I want.
Thanks to everyone who has served, it is you who made this possible.  Not the politicians in Washington, but the guys and girls with boots on the ground, metal under their feet, a boat in the water, or wings in the air.  It is because of you that this country is what it is.
Thank you.
