Being in the room that day, on January 8, would have awe inspired anyone. All rank, achievements, social and economic barriers were insignificant when it came to the message. Of course, it made you feel proud to be in the room with people who had given you so much. As a civilian, you wanted to hug everyone. To cry to everyone in there how much they meant to you and what they had given to you. But, that honor was left to Dave Roever. He got the point across.
He thanked them for his grandchildren's sake. He reminded them that being wounded, like himself, makes you love this great country so much more. The room resounded with side splitting laughter and at times moved you to tears. The love that ran to and fro between this amazing man and the amazing people in the room was contagious.
Troops, we really do love and thank you. More than your minds can imagine. We are so much more because of you. Thanks for the gifts of freedom you have given us all. Weak and powerful, Rich or poor, big or small.
