I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all the troops in our armed forces around the world protecting the freedoms and privileges those of us at home enjoy and take for granted.
I was just watching NBC's Christmas in "Rockefella" Center (welcome back Britney) and when the lovely co-hostess Jane Krakowski took a moment to thank the troops, I shared in a moment of high definition gratitude, for we do love our troops and we thank them and their families for their sacrifices, which we grieve together.
Then a thought startled me: we've been at war so long that it has become de rigueur to "thank the troops" at public events and on television broadcasts. We do it at sporting events, school functions, houses of worship, and holiday shows. It's practically expected nowadays.
Will it always be so?
