Vigilance: The Good Kind

[Soldier's Mom]
Over at PBS - Point of View, I blog about the necessity of being vigilant in protecting the warrior legacy:
It is important for all of us -- citizens who truly support the troops and who honor our veterans -- to become active and remain engaged in protecting the warrior legacy. As we head into a new year, I implore everyone in the military, veterans, their families and the general public to learn about proposed and pending legislation and to be energetic in communicating their opinions to their Senators and Representatives. This is important not just at the federal level, but at the state levels as well. 
As state and federal legislators look to reduce spending or find funding for pet (read: pork) projects, military and veterans programs will be looked at as likely sources for cuts, because of their relative size to other budget commitments. Our watchfulness will be vitally important to the roughly 1.4 million personnel on active duty, the additional 900,000 members of the Reserve and National Guard and the 23.2 million military veterans in the United States.
Please go over and read all of it and bookmark some of the links to military and veterans organizations -- and to your legislators -- that are provided.
