Another Hot Day

Some places in NC were flooded yesterday and today they are drying out. Here at Ft Bragg, it was a very nice summer day -- HOT! Do soldiers stay indoors on hot days? No. Do soldiers stop training on hot days? No. Do soldiers stop preparing to deploy to a war zone? No. Do soldiers simply take the day off when it is hot? No. Soldiers soldier. They keep at it, hot or cold, rain or shine. Soldiers have done that for years, well, centuries, for 233 years since July 4, 1776. I admire that so much. They seem so young. I was married and had children and joined the US Army before most of them were born. They are as tough as any soldier before them. No softees here. So, another hot day means nothing to a soldier. Would that every American worked like this without complaint, without hesitation, without regard for self. That's a hot weather soldier. Today's Army. Dr. D.
