One Million

I heard on CBS this morning that one million soldiers from America have died in service to their nation. That number boggles my mind.

Their ultimate sacrifice have kept us safe and free to maverize, make money, be free and pursue our dreams in this most blessed land of plenty, boundless opportunity and fantastic liberty.

How can we every repay them? Of course we cannot, but we can remember them and pray for them. We can care for the living vets in our presence.

I propose for those of us that have never served, especially retired baby boomers, that we form a 2 million person militia to take up arms and defend the southern border with 100,000 volunteers for stints of one to 2 years.

We should serve overseas in all the hot spots--including South Korea, Afghanistan, Turkey and the Middle East.

As we carry arms and embrace arms, and do military service for our country voluntarally, we will do much to build God's holy army here in America, and to sacrifice some as a heartfelt thank you to those that died in service to this greatest nation, giving their all.
