A Hero Fell Today

Coming back from WindPower 2010, NewEnergyNews passed some soldiers in fatigues at an airport and went over to thank them for their service. At the “excuse me” they looked up. At “thank you for your service” their faces lit up. Their youth and innocence was so striking. They were kids, clearly thrilled and grateful to be acknowledged for what they were giving to their country. It is an awesome thing, asking such fine young people to go to war. It is a humbling thing to know such fine young people are going to war for the country they believe in. For those that gave, are giving or will give their last full measure of devotion, gratitude is an inadequate word, though the closest one we have. From BrettBoyett via YouTube
