"You know i have to tell you i'm safe, that's my job to keep you from worrying, but just know that when i get to do my job, my real job, I love it. This is what i signed up for and would rather be doing nothing other than leading some of americas finest men of this generation.
"Without these men, america would surely crumble and i simply ask that you remind everyone at home who sleeps warm in the beds at night, with family down the hall, or those who enjoy a relatively safe drive or walk to work without having to worry about getting blown up, or having to put on 50 pounds of gear everyday, the sacrifices these young men make. They work constantly, guarding their brothers and americans at home, knowing that if the worst happens, its worth it, even almost expected because that is often what it takes to build nations and protect its freedoms.
"That isn't meant to worry you at all, because in all honesty, things are not bad right now. But i wanted you to know how i feel about the service of so many of america's boys that were not too long ago in high school or delivering someones newspaper. I just wish all of america appreciated them in the same way."
So, next time you go somewhere without having to seriously worry about your safety, remember what our soldiers are going through to make that possible. I'm no soldier but I think all they want from us is to remember what they're going through and be grateful for their sacrifice.
It's simple but incredibly important.
