A day late, and it's not that I didn't mean to honor our vets, but I'm glad I waited. This is sincere and consequently, moving. I'm only going to paste in the editor's introduction: follow the link and read the whole thing.
Editor’s note:
This open letter was sent to me by a reader, James Fallis (photo.) He writes, “I am a retired US Marine, with over 17 years of service in Infantry, Artillery, Reconnaissance units, and have been personally decorated three times for meritorious service. I have served as a member of C company, 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion-2nd Marine Division, during the ground combat phase of Operation Desert Storm. I spent four years in the Mid-west Recruiting region as a Marine Corps Recruiter, and Recruiter Supervisor. I now work for a Services and Transportation consulting firm owned by a fellow veteran, and I currently live in Waukegan, Illinois with my wife of five years.”
We thank him for his service to his country, and to the better ideals of humanity.
