Thanks for your service. Being thanked for serving in the Navy seems, to me, to be bass-ackwards. There have been emotional times when it seemed appropriate, but for the most part the thanks have been going in the other direction. Was privileged to get to spend twenty years, doing what I loved, never looking at a clock to see if I could go home, now; not one day called in sick, in that time. It was a thrill to get up each day and get after it. And, they paid me, too. The religious term for it is calling. If youve got a calling, youre lucky; to use another religious term, youre blessed. I think that policemen suffer from this same malady, loving a job that some would hate. Outsiders talk about sacrifice. But the ones who do it think of it as service. So, am gonna turn the tables and say thanks to you for providing this Country a Navy, and for giving me the chance to go down to the sea in ships and to serve and protect the Country I love. God bless America and all who serve. And, no, thank YOU!
