These two quotes have been on my mind the last week as I traveled to Chicago and back. I don’t know why, but I thought I’d share them with y’all.
"Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase." - MLK
“Be the change you want to see in the world.” - Mahatma Gandhi

EUCOM reabsorbing AFRICOM makes some sense, but I don’t understand how you can say one of our greatest threats is China while also weakening USFJ. And combining NORTHCOM/SOUTHCOM is…special.

The Germans tried that in the 1930s and 1940s under a different party name with a likeminded ideology. It was not a good decision then, and wouldn’t be a good decision now.

Thinking about my mom a lot today. It would’ve been her and dad’s 48th anniversary if she was still with us.
Thankful to have been around for 44 of their anniversaries, and missing her everyday.
