Gentlemen,
With ALL DUE respect, I humbly submit my apologies that I did not capitalize the S when I typed Soldier, and did not know that could matter to someone, and stand corrected, Thank You. The concept of Soldier is so much bigger than the word. This is not just a word, this is an especially trained ability, and a Warrior Extraordinaire!
How can I possibly present to you, how awesome you ALL are to me? Or how much we all need you?
When the word Soldier enters my mind, I can visualize the Major, in my home (during war games), entertained by my family, and his next in Command standing guard at the door, who's eyes never were distracted while he stood at ease, on guard, and never moving. Certainly there were more outside. Quiet, organized, swift. Never saw them.
Later, I remember living on base, and off base. I remember respect, consideration, at the level that doesn't exist in civilian life. I miss that, and maybe that is what I have been missing for a long, long time. Really hard to find that.
Please forgive my mistake. I am truly sorry.
