Miltary Blessings

After nearly four months of working intently with military folks, their families, and those who support them, I am again overwhelmed by how dedicated they are. Time does not matter, lack of sleep does not matter, being hungry does not matter, the mission matters. Even for those who support our military folks, they will let nothing get in the way of delivering their support to the folks who need it. Applaud them, please. Heroes is an over used word, but dedicated, hardworking, committed folks they are and are due honor. Sometimes they thank me, but I always return that thanks with greater thanks. Moody Air Force Base is a marvelous place, even though at least one third of them are deployed and in harms way. Folks hold their breaths praying that everyone returns home safely. Sadly they don't all. But every one of them should have our appreciation for it takes a special kind of person to do this work. I've met a whole lot of them. Dr. D.
