Today is the 4th of July. I woke up and the weather looked about the same way I felt. Cloudy.
I wonder why it is that when you want something and that something becomes an actual possibility you second-guess and wonder if that's what you really want.
Today is the birthday of the United States. I am really thankful for the opportunity I have to serve in it's military. I don't think it's perfect but I do believe that it gives the chance for people to choose. That is really important. But to be honest I don't fight for obscure principles that are debated in Washington. I fight so that people have the chance to choose good. But mainly I fight so that my family can continue to be the force for good that they are in this world. I love this country and I hope that we do all we can to merit the grace of God to continue to prosper and give people the chance to progress. I will always defend the Constitution and what it stands for as guiding principles of freedom.
The weather has improved and my mood with it. I think that I will figure out what I need to do, probably after a few bouts of panic but I will get there.
Happy Birthday America. You're not perfect but you're still great.
I'm proud of your service to our country and your love of freedom.
