One of the reasons why I joined the military. To keep America safe. I take my
job very seriously, now more than ever. If I was ordered to go, although I would
be scared, I would go.Why? Because even after my short 8 years of service so
far, I still get choked up when I hear songs like "The Star Spangled Banner" and
"God Bless
the USA". I think I always will. When I think of the soldiers and
civilians that fought for our freedom and the freedom of others, I feel
that I owe them. I feel that I must earn my freedom and secure it for those
who will follow me. And to use someone else's words - "Freedom is
not free." I will proundly pay for freedom with my time, with my service,
and with my life, if
it comes to that. I love you all. Proudly Serving, Clifton "Tom" Smith II
