My uncle was one of those who participated in the honor flights....to see those men who were proud, brave, young men who gave their allegiance to our nation, who stepped up to defend the honor of our country and its freedoms, who stood beside those who gave their last full measure of devotion....to see them, so many now old and stopped yet still proud to have served their nation. I watched a young man return to our church yesterday, from his service in Afghanistan, so happy to be reunited with his family, but who knows that, in all likelihood he will be asked to return again....for a third time....and he will go...again.
To hear people bash and demean those who serve now and have served I have only one thing to say.....feel free to move to a country that doesn't have an active armed services. They'll be glad to have you.
