OldTroubador's blog post - American Soldier - repost

We always remember our soldiers/veterans on Memorial Day, Veterans' Day, and national holidays like Independence Day. But their sacrifice of time, effort, and possibly their lives knows no calendar. We need to keep the men and women of the armed forces in our thoughts at all times. For my friends from around the world, please substitute the name of your country for "American". Their sacrifices are what keep us free and allow us the privilege to use sites like this.
