"A tale of brave men in harms
"A tale of brave men in harms way.... I met a young man at the washinton dc city docks not too long ago who had a brand new hot rod boat parked in front of mine. The young man (i'm only 39) kept calling me sir and was without arms below his elbows. He was obviously a recent return from combat and was given the boat by someone who cared. He and his XO were both horrifically disfigured from their war injuries.
We had a grand time. He eventually become frustrated as his stumps kept bleeding and all i could do was offer my rinky dink first aid kit.
We are fortunate to not have to physically defend freedom like our fathers, uncles and grandfathers had to... yet. For that I am thankful. Thanks to those of you that serve and have served!!
Happy fourth!!!"
