Band of Brothers

I'm sitting here watching Band of Brothers. I've seen it a few times now and each time it makes me respect those WWII hero's even more. To witness what they went through, for another people, in another age, is both amazing and heart-breaking.200 years has so changed the world. People hate us, love us, want to be part of us so much they risk their lives to get here. My neighbor was one of those. During the trek he lost his brother in the Rio Grand. Now he's made himself a great business with a great family. Props to him.Then there are those people who don't believe in the good, kind, things we do, or attempt to do. They don't believe in history or want to try and change the history they don't believe in. Iran's president is this way. It makes you think, especially while watching Band of Brothers, how someone could deny 12 million people died for a cause, as dishonest and tragic that cause was. There are pictures, film footage, first person accounts, diaries, etc etc and still there are people who don't want to believe.Its tragic.My (our) morals are no better than anyone elses, other than the fact that I(we) have compassion and understanding, and TRY and do things right, for the right reasons, at the right times.To anyone in (or out of) uniform, THANK YOU.
