Proud

So, I'm taking a brief departure from all things sarcastic and non-serious today.

(I know.  It's weird for me too.)

But I just want to say how proud I am to be an American, and how incredibly thankful I am for all of the men & women of the military, who risk their lives to protect and defend our country. 

You are awesome, and we are hugely in your debt.  THANK YOU.

And in case you're wondering, I was already asleep last night when President Obama addressed the nation. (Apparently, I am old.)  But don't think John didn't come in and wake me up to tell me all about it.  And don't think I wasn't so keyed up that I couldn't go back to sleep for THREE HOURS after that.

Good times.  (And, HELLO, sarcasm...we're back!)
