30 Days of Gratitude: Military Service
Today I am grateful for having had the opportunity to serve my country.
I need to be clear, however, during the six years I was a member of the Army Reserves JAG Corps, I served on weekends and a couple weeks out of the year. I had comfortable assignments. The hardest challenge I ever faced was going through the gas chamber during my Officer Basic Course. And maybe those terrible sit-ups.
My service involved counseling and representing our soldiers in civil and criminal matters.
On this day, I am most grateful to those soldiers and all the others who have served, especially those on the front lines and those who have sacrificed their lives for the freedoms we enjoy as citizens of the United States.
