I'd be a liar if I said I don't miss the deployments, the comradarie of all the guys that I trusted my life to, and who trusted me.
I served side by side with Army, Airforce, Navy, and Marines. Green Berets, Rangers, and these other guys who never said who they were. But I have a pretty good idea.
I've flown on "Air America" Airlines.
Even after I got out of the Army, I went places and supported our nation.
Our leaders don't always make the best choices, and I have issues with that, but I've always supported my brothers and sisters in arms.
I'm proud to be an American and a Veteran. I regret nothing.

As a young man, pre-teen or teen, I visited Arlington. It was a powerful moment. And I cried, understanding the significance an honor that laid before me.
As a veteran, I know I have a place there, but I just did my job. Nothing special like the men and women laid there. I'm not fit to be laid to rest with them.
If you've never been, go. Go and know our heros and veterans also lie all over this country as well as other countries. Many did not come home.
But when you see Arlington....it will change your life.
