I've managed to trace my family tree back to the Revolutionary War . . . and virtually every war in between then and now. I not only stand in awe of my fore bearers, I stand in awe of their friends and associates that hammered out this country over the centuries. Watching WWII in HD on the History Channel was a reminder of the awesome debt we all owe and can only attempt to repay by being the people they fought for us to be.
