I think the men and women who serve our great nation overseas in this continuing time of war are worthy of such an honor. Spending months and years away from loved-ones while braving danger on a daily basis; all the time serving each and every citizen of this fine country.
I think it would also be especially fitting to honor those that did not receive a proper sendoff during their last deployment.
So I say, "LET'S SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!"
Pick a deserving Soldier who is also a contributing and upstanding member of our community.
Now, as for finding such an individual...hey! What do you know! I just happen to fit the bill! (Do you hear America the Beautiful playing in the background?)
I would be thrilled to serve as the guest of honor representing all the men and women of the US Armed Forces.
