"A Veteran is someone, who at one point in their life, wrote a blank check payable to the United States of America for an amount up to, and including, their life. That is beyond honor and there are way too many people in this country who no longer remember that fact." - Conrad Davis
At one point in my life I strongly considered joining the marines because of the example of a young lady named Erica Apgood. She decided to join the army and when I heard her say why, I had to ask myself why I wasn't doing what I could to make my country proud of me and to serve my country. I gained a new appreciation veterans today as I got up at 4:55 AM to set up flags to honor those who have died for or/and served our country. That is the definition of a hero.
