For Granted

I was checking out a customer today. She was buying Dry Milk Powder. I commented on it because it was a product I haven't seen very often, and she said she was buying it for her son stationed in Iraq so he could have milk with his cereal.

Damn.

Here we are celebrating July 4th, and some mother is buying milk powder on July 4th to send to her son who is spending his 4th of July stuck in a desert halfway around the world, probably wondering why the heck he is there and having to consider cereal with milk a rare commodity.

And yet our President has not asked us, not even once, to make any kind of sacrifice to help these guys.
