What We Celebrate Tomorrow

Tomorrow we celebrate our country's freedom. This celebration should not involve alcohol or anything else that would make us forget why we fight for our freedom. I am tired of hearing what we did yesterday and it involving drinking. It is a time that we remember those who have fought for our freedom and those who are still doing so. How can you do that when you are too drunk to think about anything? Those of us who are going into military service are going to have to practice zero tolerance when it comes to those habits, or we are going to find ourselves outside the base waiting for the bus to take us back home. We do not pride ourselves in drinking, but in being prepared at a moment's notice to serve our country. It does not speak well of those that are serving right now, when we disgrace them with our lack of judgment. I will do my best to set an example for those around me who have in the past have not used discretion. So please honor our troops by truly remembering them while they fight for you.
