On Saturday (July 26) I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with a group of wounded warriors at Ft. Bragg, NC. I was there with retired Marine Lt. Col Jay Kopelman. The troops were quick to forgive Jay for having been a Marine since he brought copies of his book to share with them. One Army Lieutenant told a story about his having chosen the Marines initially, but his father told him that his grandfather would roll over in his grave if he didn't join the Army. He was happy with the Army, but still felt like he'd been shamed into it.
It was a moving experience, to say the least. These guys are real American heroes and they represent us well. We all owe them a debt of gratitude for taking on the jobs that must be done. Please keep them in your thoughts.
