OK, this is a hanky alert. This video clip brought tears to my eyes. I have never heard of Reckless until this morning. Semper fi Sgt. Reckless. What a soldier. What a heroine!

And to all you Americans, Happy Fourth of July!

I have had the great fortune to travel across quite a bit of this vast country, from most of her large cities, to some small mid western farm town, to her southwest deserts, to the California coast thousands of miles away, to southern homes where we sipped some moonshine, to rocky mountains, Texas plains, and of course the east coast down to our beloved Capital. I've met cowboys, southerners, mid westerners, beach bums (with PhDs!), soldiers, pilots, bankers, lawyers, and CEOs. And of course I've met many an engineer who think they can move the earth if they had the right fulcrum. I've met every ethnicity and every religion under the sun. We are the world in a microcosm. We may have had our problems of late, but there is no question we will over come them. Three thousands miles wide, two thousand miles tall. I love you all.

Sorry for being patriotic, but this is the fourth of July!
