These men are two of the finest human beings I’ve ever known. Just talking to them makes me feel like I haven’t done enough for this country. I’ve never worn the uniform of our military, and I know these men have fought on behalf of people like me, who all to often take them for granted. But not this week. This week, I will thank them for their service to this country, for putting their lives on the line, for bringing democracy to foreign lands while protecting our freedom here at home. This week, I will thank them for being a soldier. I hope you’ll do the same, for the soldiers you know and those you don’t.
I’m proud that NRAnews.com is a sponsor of www.thankasoldierweek.com. I plan on spending a lot of time there this week, writing to those who serve. I hope you’ll do the same.
