My Dad passed away 4 weeks ago. He was an Air Force fighter pilot and a Vietnam Vet, who served two tours in Vietnam, and taught many other pilots. I've been sorting through the memorabilia he left behind, and there are so many things that show very clearly just how tight the bond is between Brothers in Arms. This movie was a great illustration of that as well. To all the Vets out there, know that your sacrifice is appreciated, more than you will ever know. And to all of the spouses and families, without your sacrifice, our Vets could not do their jobs half as well. Thank you. High Flight By John Gillespie Magee, Jr. Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth, And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air. "Up, up the long delirious burning blue I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace, where never lark, or even eagle, flew; and, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of God.

Its like a little voice in the back of my head saying join and become of higher people. I'll be signing up on my birthday. Update: Hey everyone so update, I’m 21 now, I did get into the marines and served it was by far the best experience of my life and loved it, the struggles and bonds that are thrown at you I can honestly say it made me a better person over all thank you for the story you told🙏🏻

Why especially to US troops? All other countries’ troops risk just as much, fight just as hard, and love their country just as much as ours do, even our enemies. While we may not like every nation’s military, we should still salute the courage and bravery it takes to serve. Especially to those that go against us, because they either must be much braver or absolutely crazy to even think about facing the might that is the United States military.
