and your soldiers...

It's a funny thing, the bond between an Officer, an NCO and their soldiers. And, it's one that I imagine one would have to be a part of to understand. But I received an email today from a friend, which was signed off with the following:

Please, stay safe and, of course, keep your soldiers safe as well.

I thought it worth mentioning and find it interesting that this is now my life...and I mean that in a good way. That those I consider my peers now live not just for themselves, but for others. What a great thing to be a part of.
