There is no greater sacrifice that can be made than one to your country and family. The courage of these men... The honor and respect for the ideals of the country they were born and raised in...
The willingness to freely give their lives to protect not only you and me, but what you and me represent.
I shed tears this weekend and I celebrate with all the joviality that I can muster because this is what these good men fought and died for: So that you and I can enjoy an outdoor barbecue without fixed prices and fixed wages and unfair taxes and laws that infringe upon our human rights, no matter what you do and not to be ruled by ANYONE, but ourselves.
I shed real tears for my brothers-in-arms and wish this world didn't have to be like this, but it is and Real Men have to defend our ideals and freedoms.
Should any member of the armed services should happen to cross my path at a bar- their drinks are on me. Always has been, always will be.
Look me up the next time you're in El Paso. I salute my soldiers.
