When I was a little, future kayaker my daddy was in the Navy, he was a SeaBee. Because of this and a strong sense of patriotism I went to college with the sole purpose of getting a degree and attempting to enter the Navy as an officer. Well, that didn't happen 'cause the Navy said I was a bad boy in high school, and I was. My pride and honor for those who serve has never diminished in the 25 years since then although most of my political views have changed dramatically with age, education and wisdom(?). One of my strongest views is that the village idiot from TX that used to be our president sorely used our service members.

I've paddled many miles with my Marines since then and I've never stopped being grateful for the opportunity. I will never forget nor let other Americans forget the depth of gratitude and honor that we owe these men and women!
