Thanks Alex

Below is a comment I got from my Memorial Day post. The fact that I’m able to write on these pages and have people I don’t even know thank me for it (especially on topics like this) just absolutely thrills me beyond belief. To imagine that I could share my thoughts and experiences like I do and hear back that they could ever make a difference or positive impact on anything or anyone, it’s a total dream for me.

To Alex; Thank you for your service. It’s an honor you wrote me.

To Alex and everyone who has written me to thank me; Thank YOU. Thank you for supporting me to be able to follow my heart.

Erin sent me a link to your blog because she thought I’d get a kick out of your perspective on things, and indeed I do; however, when i came accross your post about memorial day, it struck a different chord with me.

I’m also a Marine, with a little over three years in, and as many service members can attest, memorial day comes with some serious mixed emotions. Most of us know someone that’s been killed, or died in training, or ended their own lives (as has become a growing trend amongst Marines and Soldiers)… but many of us have intentionally grown numb to it. It’s a part of our culture to act like these things don’t bother us.

It’s genuinely motivating to know that there are people with my lost friends on their minds, even if they’ve never met them. 

Thanks for your kind words, and I’m glad someone was there to help 🙂

-Alex
