Do you want a measure? 9 years in the Marines, 1 in Vietnam.
Do you want a declaration? I thankfully say the Pledge of Aligence while standing. I still stand during The National Anthem. It angers me when others don’t.
The real measure though, I use what ever is legally available to discourage domestic efforts to destroy our Consttution, the one that protect even those that hate it.
I salute and hold in high esteme those who served before me, some of whom gave their life.
It really bothers me when people take it for granted and trod under foot that which most in this world would treasure more than money.
