I've served in that uniform, and seen friends die in it, and absolutely agree with you, it's about having a voice and a choice in what direction our precious nation will turn... May the best man win tomorrow, and of course I think that's my candidate, but whatever happens, let us raise a glass together tomorrow night and know that we have chosen, and on November 3rd, may we all agree that we will accept the choice we have made, and hope (and pray, if so inclined) that it was the right choice, and that history will prove it so.
And let no one who stays home tomorrow complain about the outcome.
Interesting...and poignant, and appropriate, that the writer doesn't name whom he's voting for. One could easily assume Kerry, because of the inherent questioning of the war, but it would not be difficult to think this were a Bush voter who sees some value in the sacrifice of his brother. The point is that everyone must make a choice, and the writer doesn't cloud the point through partisanship. Very effective letter.
