Coach, first off, do not ever apologizing for going off topic. Fishing and our fighting men and women go hand in hand, and if it wasn't for their sacrifices, we might not share the freedoms that we have today.
You are very right.........Americans to not realize just how great of a country that we live in. We take for granted the very things that make this country the best in the world, and we take for granted the people that died to make this country what it is.
The work that you just put on here is the truth, down to the very last word. I am one of the most patriotic men you will meet, and even when I hear of another soldier that has lost their life in defense of our nation and her beliefs, I cry. On Memorial Day, July 4th, and on September 11th, you will find my truck blaring 3 songs over and over. The first is by Toby Keith and is called "The Angry American", the second is by Darryl Worley and is called "Have You Forgotten?" and lastly, but certainly not leastly, there is a song by Alan Jackson which is called "Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning".
My family was one of the few lucky families. My cousin, PFC Michael Brown, was an Army Sharpshooter. He was a sniper rifle shooter, and he was in Iraq before our President decided to think of going to war with Iraq. He was able to come home, no worse for the wear. I thank God each and every day that he set foot back on United States soil, and that he is able to live his life the best way he sees fit.
I had another friend, Cody McArther, who was also in tha Army, and he's back home as well, for good. I think God each and every day that my "Jokester" is back home. He was like a younger brother to me in HS, and I taught him how to play chess. And yes, the student learned to smack the teacher around on the chess board.
I am going to take the things that you wrote in this message, and I am going to send it to all of my friends and family, so that they know just was the US stands for.
Thanks for that. :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :usa: :usa: :usa: :usa: :usa: :usa: :usa: :usa: :usa: :usa: :usa: :usa:
