They are my friends from church, my friends from high school and the family members of friends. They are your children, siblings, cousins and other relatives. They are you.
They respond to sounds that go bump in the night. They respond first and think later, as thinking first could endanger our lives. They live in deserts, on ships and other places we will never know. They miss births and birthday parties, weddings and funerals. They miss out on "life" while protecting our lives.
They are strong, always prepared, the few and the proud, doing the impossible everyday and a global force of good. They are our veterans.
"Ooh Rah."
