The single best augury is to fight for one's country.
Homer, The IliadGreek epic poet (800 BC - 700 BC)
While at dinner tonight with my lovely wife, a soldier was sitting at the bar waiting for his take out food. I had this sudden urge to buy his dinner or just shake his hand in thanks. What held me back was whether or not I would offend him. I still question if that would offend or compliment a soldier. It does not matter what he has or has not done, I wanted to show my thanks for fighting for my freedom and my country. I came across this quote and thought this sums up my day of gratitude. We don't know what the unforeseen future holds so we have to appreciate what our soldiers have fought for what we enjoy now, the present.
