On the eve of the 4th of July, a day that commemorates this country's declaration of independence from tyranny, I am thinking about all of the servicemen and servicewomen who will spend this holiday away from home.
I do not in any way condone the political quagmire called the war on terror. However, I am in our country's military because I believe I have an obligation to do my small part to repay those who have given their life for our freedom and to those who have dedicated a part of their life by serving in the military.
Tomorrow I will be with my family on the lake having fun, but I will be thinking a lot about my friends, colleagues, and my daughter who are sacrificing their holiday for us.
TBL: We don't all have to serve, but we definitely should think about the debt we owe those who do.
