Massive Respect to all patriots who have shed blood in the U.S. and foreign lands so that we may enjoy the quality of life and freedom that we have. No matter how much you agree or disagree with the conflicts they have sacrificed for, we can never pay them enough honors and respect. My best friend's younger brother is shipping out this summer to Iraq and my thoughts and prayers are on his safe and quick return. If any of you know anyone who serves or had served, take a moment to thank them personally for their service. They served so you don't have to. And take a few moments to toast the many thousands who have fallen in the name of freedom and liberty. Our most solemn and greatest duty is to not ever squander the gift they gave to us!
