Looking at the history of mankind one would guess that we require conflict to survive - like it's inbred into our genes. Some are wars that are large and in the world's face like the one in Iraq. Some have a smaller footprint like the one between the police and the felons in the meth house next door. There always seems to be someone doing the wrong thing and fortunately someone else willing to put their lives on the line to stop them.
The affect of these wars on those who are fighting them is tremendous. They are killed, permanently injured, get post traumatic stress disorder, get divorced, and so much more. Putting their lives on the line affects them in every aspect of their lives. Every soldier, seaman, policeman and fireman knows the risk yet they do it anyway. Today is the day to honor them.
I pray you speak kindly to someone who has been affected by conflict. Listen to their story. Honor their commitment to do the right thing. You will be richer for it.
Who do you know in that position? What is their story?
You give me your shield of victory; you stoop down to make me great. You broaden the path beneath me, so that my ankles do not turn. - David
