Today is the day we are to give thanks for the men and women who have served and are currently serving in the US Armed Forces. I am ex Army and proud to have served! The Army molded my leadership skills and provided me with many essential tools that helped me become the person I am today. The comradery I experienced in the Army is unsurpassed. As a Civilian I haven't had the same experience on any job I've had. I give thanks to those currently serving during this tumultuous time.
I have been reflecting on my time in the military and how I was often referred to as a "sharp soldier" because my uniform was always perfect, and boots always spit shined! I took pride in the uniform and my duty. Army soldiers wear what's known as BDUs (battle dress uniform), and I loved my jump boots! When I was stationed in the Republic of Panama they issued me jungle boots, they were cool - but not as cool as jump boots.
With all the years I wore these boots, I was lucky to not have any long term problems with my feet. Ironically, about I week ago I started having a pain in my right heel. Now there is a knot there. I initially blamed it on a new pair of converse sneakers, but I resolved that they are not the culprits. My next thought was **probably those damn jump boots from years ago!** I will be making an appointment to have it check out this week.
I once thought about going back in the Army... years ago. Too old now and of course the health issues.
Pray for our troops safe return!!!!
