Last night I watched the documentary on Medal of Valor winners.

The part of the program that really made me think was the story of an officer telling a group of recruits about the paychecks that they would receive during their service..

He told the recruits that the amount of their paychecks would not cover the job that they would be asked to do.

He then told them that there would come a day when the country would never be able to pay them enough for their work as soldiers.

They deserve more than one day during the year.
