My Marine...

So, Mikey is home for Christmas; yes, we are thrilled. We went to CiCI's yesterday here in Gallatin. After we ate, he looked in the game room to see if some shooting game was still there. It was, and he says, "Dad, c'mon, I want you to see this!" He puts two tokens in some game with a plastic P220-ish handgun attached, and it goes through a short intro movie. He's just talking to me, telling me about it, telling me he might be a little rusty... then the "OK" sign comes up to start, and he offhands a shot at it... then, my boy disappears. I watch the screen, and if a baddie so much as sticks out half a head, bang, he's dead. They're coming from everywhere, and Mikey... never misses. One shot, one gone. I stop watching the game, and look at him. This aggressive stance, the precision of movement and target acquisition... he's a machine himself. When the game is over (I don't remember how far he got on that 50 cents), he just turns to me and smiles... and Mikey's back. I was just amazed...

Merry Christmas to all our boy and girls in uniform. Army, Navy Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, PD, FD, and all the others I don't have time to list. Those that give of themselves wholly are what makes this world go round and makes the USA the greatest damn country in the history of the world. Period.
