Just A Moment. 99%.

To the 1%; to whom the 99% owe so much:

The world has changed in so very many ways since 1979.
It has been since then, that I was the age of my average current 5th grader.
My father served in the military.
And just about every man of age in his Kansas state neighborhood did too.

I know that sometimes, many times, it appears that people do not appreciate the Americans that serve in the military forces.

But I want to express that this is one person who understands that there is a human being, a daughter or son of a mother and father- a person who wears the uniform.
I'd even go so far as to say,... beyond an American.

It's important to note that the freedoms we exercise in this country are not free.
As such, we walk a fine line in the eyes of many with regards to situational appropriateness.

It can also be said that all's fair in love and war.
If you have personally known either, you realize how true that is...
or conversely is not.

Living in an age of juxtapositions is nothing new. However one thing remains pure as the winds of change: PRESENCE.

Be present. Stand up for yourself. Learn through growth.

And by all means, LISTEN.


We at BWLP respect those who serve in the armed forces for what they do and what they give up so that we can at least have an opportunity to follow our dreams... at least.
