I recently saw this on youtube and thought it was hilarious.
There hasn't been anything exciting going on for me. I will be getting PRK on the 5th of August. PRK is a form of corrective vision surgery. So I am looking forward to that. That's about all I know for now though.
Happy 4th of July to everyone. I hope you all have a great day however you are planning to spend your day. I am just glad I spending it back here in America and not another country who can't even defend themselves and still needs our help.
Anyway, Fort Carson was open for civilians from around Colorado Springs to come on post to a park where they had several things for kids and families to do. They also had fireworks at night.
I watched the fireworks from my Jeep in a parking lot nearby my barracks. They started roughly around 9:45 p.m. At every military post I have been to so far at 10pm Taps is played. So right in the middle of the fireworks tonight Taps starts playing. It's a very weird thing watching fireworks go off and hearing Taps being played. To me fireworks are a celebration of our nations independence, as I'm sure it is for everyone else. On the other hand Taps is a solemn reminder of the price paid of keeping this nation free. For me it was just a strange thing to be happening at the same time.
Once the firework ended and I was headed back to the barracks, Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue by Toby Keith came on the radio. It seemed like a fitting end to the day.
