Have you ever had a chance to enjoy a quiet evening reading a book on the sofa with a candle burning, a quiet yet warm house, while drinking the hot cup of coffee? Or if you are not a reader the opportunity to sit and watch a movie with your family? The reality is there are people in the world who do not have the opportunity to enjoy these freedoms that we take for granted in the United States. How about the ability to walk outside and get your mail? Many countries don't have mail delivery and you can't safely walk outside your house.
Many people agree with what the military does, many don't, but the reality is these people are out in the world sacrificing their lives, their time with their families, and so many other things, so that we can sit on Facebook, take a walk in our neighborhood, go to a sporting event, read a book in a home that has a roof with food in it. I challenge everyone the next time they disagree with the military, think about those sacrifices. They deserve respect. If those sacrifices are no big deal, then why not enroll in the military?
The point is we are to try to contribute to a better world. There are so many evil things occurring around us and in so many places in the world, why not do good to impact the lives of others?
