spent his 21, 22, and 23rd birthdays in a war. Some of these young men and women have been on five tours of war. Heck, I was 26-28 when I was in the service. I simply cannot image being a 17-25 year old person and doing what these wonderful young people are doing. Those of us back home are sacrificing little - especially those of us with no family or friends in jeopardy (My wife's brother is in the Navy). What did our President ask of us? To SHOP. To SPEND. So we should look at each of these people to appreciate what they are doing.
