Because every Friday afternoon, rain or shine, a group of people very old and very young, stand in the grassy median of one of the major arteries coming off MacDill AFB (Bayshore Blvd), holding flags of all sizes wishing the departing troops Godspeed for a safe and happy weekend. It may not seem like a big deal to some but it always makes me sneam with pride for humanity.

This little tribute to our troops is very big in their hearts. I am hearing interesting things and this one is a special way of saying thanks. Thanks for sharing.

1) Freedom of religion
2) Freedom of practically doing anything you want without breaking the law
3) Freedom to vote for whoever you want
4) Freedom of joining the military or not
5) Freedom to agree or disagree

I agree. Freedom is not free. I feel the fact that a few serve to up hold our democracy regardless of political views. Being able to express ourselves without the fear of death.
