Well .. you are so very welcome. The first time I read that I just burst into tears.
I love the last line: "Their skill and daring, discipline and endurance are without parallel in the world today."
More than a few politicians could learn a lot from these young people.

12 PROFOUND MINUTES
[Posted by: Major John]
The Army provides a 12 minute explanation of "Boots on the Ground." I just left a meeting of several hundred Illinois Army National Guard Soldiers a few hours ago. When this film clip was shown, there was stone silence when it ended. A profound message for those of us who have been given the honor, the privilege, and the responsibility to leader Soldiers.
Clip is here:
