One of my customers is a single mom whose two sons are both young Marines getting ready to be deployed.
The other day I asked, “Where are they headed?
As only a Marine mother could answer she replied, “The sandbox.”
I hesitated, then asked,”What does that mean exactly?”
Her eyes were a little red, but she said, “It means they’ll do their job.”
I thought of her and her two sons when I came across this video of General Kelly speaking to a group of Gold Star parents.
If you put politics aside and realize what it truly means to be an American it is genuinely humbling.
This is a great video and it may give some insights into who General John Kelly is as a man. But more importantly it reminds that being an American has nothing to do with this bullshit we’re watching 24/7.
