Patriotism
As our Country teeters on the brink of war, it is high time to pay tribute to all of our brothers who either have served or are currently serving in the United States Armed Forces.
Saturday night, I had the honor of toasting Godspeed to 2LT Bill Steinhour, who left at 0600 hrs today for an 18 month tour of Korea. Bill is a brother of Phi Tau Zeta along with myself and Lennox. Oddly enough, it was just 1 week earlier I was toasting Bill and his new wife at their wedding. (Yes, the 2 events were very much related)
Bill is not the first brother of Phi Tau to get the call, nor will he be the last. As an undergrad, I vividly remember having a beer with a brother on a Monday night, to have him pulled out of his class the next morning to go serve during Desert Storm. That was one of the biggest wake up calls in my adult life.
No matter where you stand your moral ground on the subject of war, it is very important during these trying times to show support of SOMETHING. I suggest it be your brothers who have heeded the call to arms.
If you happen to know how to contact a brother serving his country, please post it here, that we may show them support in their cause.
In ZAX,
