10 year ago today I was at the Marion Military Institute in Marion, Alabama. I had already been a soldier for more than a year, and had just been accepted to West Point. Everyone remembers where they were when the towers fell, but what really matters is what they have done since. I count myself fortunate to have been able to put myself in harms way for my country, and consider it an honor to have served beside men like Matthew Hermanson, Benjamin Britt, Neale Shank, Tom Martin, Jacob Harrelson, and a host of others, more numerous to name, that have given their life for their nation. For all I may have done, I doubt I will ever shake the feeling that it simply isn't enough.
