A Soldier For Life
A few days ago, I put on my favorite blue sports jacket for a graduation ceremony. My “Retired: Soldier For Life” lapel pin is always affixed to it. I’m proud of that pin and what it represents.My 41 years of service are a fraction of the 250 years our Army celebrates today. But there are things from those 41 years that seem to me worth reflecting on as we step off tomorrow into our next 250 years of service to the nation.There is nothing more complex and more demanding, nothing with higher stakes for our way of life than war.
