This will move you. Take a second.

Besides outrageous weather, something else happened this week.  To quote CNN, "the 911 generation's boogeyman is gone."  While this is a step in the right direction, we can't let ourselves forget just how many of our soldiers are risking their lives everyday for us, and for the world.  Just yesterday a deployment left Missouri for Iraq to help agricultural practices.  These are our friends, family, and even if you don't know anyone who has ever served, they are our protectors.  This video is touching, please take a minute to watch it.  This semester, as I worked with a nonprofit serving homeless veterans, I saw these statistics in an all too real light and I believe this is a good cause to get behind.
