These are times that try men souls......................

No words could ever be true. In an ever changing world with so many challenges, it never ceases to amaze me how we can stay so far behind trying, I did say trying to move forward. Today, I really, really realize just how great the freedom cost can be. I asked a team member about how the Citizenship Program went. I wasn't surpised at all to learn that it was an emotional time and a very special day to become an American. I thank God each day for the strength and health to be here at college. I long to see the reality of be free, not looked over, not ignored just the respect that comes being a veteran and Legionnaire in this outside war at home. It didn't seem to matter much under fire, where it really mattered how well you were able to fire your weapon and hit the right target, which then, was the enemy.
