They are extraordinary Americans. It is said that they sign
a blank check to their country and their countrymen pledging that they will
give their all, up to and including their lives, to defend the American way of
life and their fellow Americans. They are the men and women who are currently
serving or have previously served in the armed forces of the United States .
They take an oath to “protect and defend the Constitution of the United States
against all enemies, both foreign and domestic,” and they always live by that
oath.
This blank check is readily accepted by our government and
by other Americans who send these selfless individuals off to fight and die for
our nation and its freedoms. Many of them have made the ultimate sacrifice and
died in battle, while many others have returned home with shattered bodies and
emotional scars. Unfortunately, they have often returned home to betrayal by
some of their fellow Americans and particularly by their own government.
