I found the following on Dr Laura Schlesinger’s blog and had to share it here.
A parent emailed me just the other day to tell me what her six year old said in response to overhearing her talking to her husband about how little the military is paid for their extraordinary service. The child piped up with, “They don’t get paid, because you can’t pay people to be heroes. They just are.â€
Hear Hear, Dr. Laura. And please tell your son, whom I have watched grow into a hero in his own right over the years (I’ve been a regular listener since the early 1990′s), that I truly appreciate his service to America and the World for protecting us from terrorists and other evil people. Americans are truly blessed with men and women such as your son–we owe them a debt we cannot possibly repay.
