A Moment

Today has been a rather laid-back, cloudy day in Scotland. One of those days where you do a lot of thinking. I am sure that everybody who will be reading this already knows what I'm about to say, but I will say it anyways for the random person who might not know me so well. I have never been a supporter of the United States' involvement in the Middle East.... but I do not disregard those who have, who are currently, and those who have not yet given their lives in the name of their country that they love so much. I want every single person who is reading this to take a moment, just a moment, to think about these men and women. They will never see their families or loved ones again; they will not return home to live to see old age; they will not experience anymore of life's joys. ...Just a moment, for all those who will not be returning home.
