THANK YOU

To all the soldiers in the world, past, present and future, thank you.  Thank you for serving your country without question, and for giving up so much, sometimes the ultimate sacrifice:  paying with your life.

On behalf of the United States of America, I apologize for entangling you in imperialistic fights over such silliness as oil, power, the threat (what threat?) of communism and the continuation of the military/industrial complex.  For all the ridiculous reasons you were sent off to fight, I apologize on behalf of this country, because I know you were told you were doing something noble.  And you were.  Thanks for believing in a country I no longer believe in.  You are honorable in your devotion.
