Our Protectors

I feel so awful for these folks who serve our country.  They do so much for so little.

"In 2010, for the second year in a row, more American soldiers killed themselves than died in combat. "

My father was in the Army. My grandfather was in the Navy.  My great-grand father was in the Navy and my brother-in-law is still in the Marine Reserves.  Serving our county is part of our family tradition.  I'm proud of it, as well as the sacrifices that our family has made to defend this country.  

These men and women need help dealing with the enormity of their responsibility.  They military needs to fund mental health programs.  They need to protect these folks that are protecting us.
