Off the top of my head, I can count more than 10 of my good friends who are currently in the Army, ROTC, or at West Point who have parents in or retired from the US Army. If I start thinking about friend’s older brothers and sisters, my parents’ friends kids, friends of friends, old neighbors, and such – the number is dizzying. And I’m sure I’ve forgotten more than a few.
What are the reasons for so many legacies of service? I’m sure it’s a variety of things – money for college, a way to give back, to carry on a legacy, to serve the United States. But it interests me regardless, I am not one of the people that decided to serve by joining the Army. No particular reason, I consider it one of the most amazing things a person can do. But there are days where it feels like I have already served and sacrificed for my country. And maybe it’s selfish to feel that way, I don’t know. I hope not.
I just know that as my friends put on their uniforms and combat boots, they are stepping forward to take the places of their parents – many of whom are some of the greatest military minds this country has seen since WWII. They have big boots to fill.
I think they’ll be fine.
Good luck to all who choose to follow in their parents’ combat boots or simply choose to serve.
Until next time,
Katie
