I had traveled to 15 countries by age 15 or 16, so I already saw the huge difference in freedom between the US and elsewhere.

Serving in the military changes you, especially when you lose very good friends who are really top-notch people that we could have used at home, but they're gone. When I hold my kids, or look at my family, it is the fallen who I think of, and do what I can to savor the moments they will never have again in this life.

I wish I could share that feeling with my countrymen, because we all would be better people for it.

I met Tom Spooner at SHOT Thursday, and he is a genuinely friendly person, who is like the big brother you never had. His brother makes a very good case for the freedoms we enjoy in the United States, and the role our military plays in that, politics aside. The contrast to being held to restrictions in the military, versus being totally free are stark and very real, and it's nice to be able to breathe freely after a career of military service.
