I will never forget the lesson that I have learned. I needed to be shocked back into reality. I needed to be reminded of what these men and woman are doing and what they are going through while I sip my coffee and complain about there being nothing on TV and I only have 250 channels or my internet server is down. I'll stop and think of people like Private Greg Stultz and Marine LCPL Joshua Kaiserrivate and try to imagine what they are going through. Yes sir, I'll remember this lesson and I will do my best to honor them at every one of our races in some way but it will never be enough. (This would be great place for an American flag icon or one of our military's symbol icon. just a thought.)
