Proud American

As this week gets rolling I wanted to take the time to thank some of the people that make this the absolute best place in the world to live. I think you have to start with the fine men and women that have fought and currently are fighting to keep America safe and free. Thank you to our troops past and present and to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice to give me the right to write these words.

Next I would have to thank the find folks that make up our education system here, the teachers and mentors that help shape young minds and guide us as we grow and learn. This "clique" of society is often over looked and under appreciated. Since starting coaching I have grown to respect even more the task they have of trying to "cater" to 1000's of different personalties, ego's and so on. Thank you for the hard work you provide and to all my teacher's past, sorry for being a opain in the butt!!!!!

Finally I'd like to thank the fine men and women of our police and fire departments. They walk out the door everyday to jobs that put their lives on the lines to protect and serve this great country of ours. Thank you.

There are many many more people of our society that help make this country the greatest on earth and I'm certainly not looking over those folks, but I felt these are three of the main "ingredients" that help make this grand old home of ours what it is. Take time out of your day to thank these people and let them know how appreciated they are. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
