  • Staff Sgt. Clayton Walker had been deployed in Italy for the past 11 months. It’s his fifth deployment. The Atlanta Braves played a special message from Walker on the Jumbotron before his daughter, Cassidy, and her classmates sang the National Anthem. But the surprises weren't over yet.

    Few things in this world are as beautiful as a little girl's love for her daddy. She's not old enough to truly understand how blessed she is. (Well, she may be now. The video is seven years old as I write this.)

    All of the worry, the doubts, concerns, prayers, all the missed events, missed birthdays and celebrations; are all washed away with the tears of relief and love and joy. The lost time can never be replaced but the future time is valued more than ever, because they know the cost absence.

    These are beautiful stories and great memories for those involved. Today we respect and covet our men and women in the military.
    That being said, I am old enough to remember how the Viet nam vets were treated on their return to the USA. They were spit on and called baby killers. Ironically many of these men were drafted and never volunteered to fight in a war half way around the world in a country that many Americans couldn't find on a map. Make sure when you see a Viet nam vet, thank them for their service because many have never been thanked.

    The best place for American soldiers to be, is at home, with their wives and husbands, sons and daughters, moms and dads, brothers and sisters. Safe with the people who love them.
    I would hope all Americans of all political persuasions can agree on that.
