Yes, I already tweeted about this and posted it on Facebook. And yes, this is a project that John and I are helping to promote. However, some things are worthy of being re-posted for the sake of emphasis - and for the importance of the message/intent. Such is the case with this video.

For us history buffs, you can trace every American economic growth period directly back to a soldier. Not just for what they did on the battlefield, but what they did when they got home.

Civil war veterans helped turn America in to the bread-basket of the world.

WWII and Korea veterans created a generation of entrepreneurs and innovators.

Look behind the the economic growth of the 80s and you will find Vietnam War vets who became business owners.

The same thing happened after the Gulf War - and in those periods of "peace" in between the wars and conflicts.

Now, it is this generation's turn. As the video says, "They defend our freedom. Now they will save it".

So watch it. Forward it. Post it. Even disagree with it. Just please don't ignore it.
