A little dramatic, but the message serves its purpose.
I was privileged yesterday to attend a luncheon with fellow Military Officer Association of America (MOAA) members, where our speaker was a young West Point graduate, now serving as a member of the Florida National Guard, mentally preparing for deployment to Afghanistan early next year.
I am continually impressed with the education, skills, dedication, loyalty, etc., of our young military officers and enlisted men and women! I fervently hope that everyone will take a moment today, and every day, to acknowledge them and their contribution to our freedom!
