Armed Forces Day!
Just a small reminder of why we still have individual freedoms, national liberty, and are able to continue our "pursuit of happiness". Liberties which are still elusive or non-existent for 3/4 of the people in this world we live in.
These rights didn't materialize out of thin air, they weren't obtained by a simple "Declaration of Independence"; they were hard fought for, and earned with the blood, sweat and tears of many in our nation. I, for one, will never forget all they've done at home and overseas, to ensure that basic human principles are safeguarded and observed wherever we may be.
Today I salute our self-sacrificing and brave, men and women of our armed forces.
