I think it's appropriate that I started this blog today. This blog is a reflection of what my life as a modern Army officer is like. I could not have this experience if it was not for those who have gone before me...those who struggled, fought and died in defense of our great nation.
The tug of patriotism surges and wanes with the popular tides of our modern culture. I feel the current steadily drifting out now...loving your country, and saying so, doesn't seem to have the acceptance amongst the cultural elites that it once had. But I will not be ashamed. I am proud of who we are as a people and everything this great country has accomplished. I am proud to serve in her defense along the 1% of Americans who join me.
To those out there who also serve, and to those who don't, I have one question: "What is worth fighting for?"
