Military Shout Out

Recently the death toll in the conflict in the midde east reached 4,000.  While i'm not capable of understanding the loss of a son or daughter, father or mother in this form it has to be traumatic and devastating.  Consider 4,000 individuals who gave their lives for a greater good for this country and for you and me.  While the death toll here dos not compare to other wars and conflicts, it is still a very sad realization that war is often an alternative.  4,000 lives lost, people no different than those we communicate with on a daily basis, thoughts, dreams vanish into memories.  Memories to cherish and hold close for a family member died for a cause.  All politics aside, as i come off of a horrible blogging day yesterday, as some have formulated opinions about this conflict, as some demonstarte their disdain for conflict and as some support the effort.  Let's take a moment as we have done many times in the past to recgonize, remember, value, support, love those who are currently serving those who have served and give them the respect they deserve.

As some may not serve, we together, we the people must support.
