Twenty years ago today I was on active duty with the United States Air Force. I was part of the shield defending the United States from attack. My grandson, Anthony, nærmet seg sin andre bursdag.
For ti år siden i dag jeg var på reise i Tyskland, Anthony was in school, and his young brother was approaching his first birthday. The shield was dented when the towers fell.
I dag, Jeg er hjemme, Anthony’s brother is home, and his wife cares for their daughter who celebrated her 1st bitrhday in July. Anthony is on duty with the United States Air Force Reserve.
Today Anthony is part of the shield. Thank you to Anthony, medlemmer av hans Air Reserve enhet, and his fellow airmen, soldater, sjømenn, og marinesoldater.
