It’s been so long since I have had time to stop and think to myself; about the war, about my family that may be alive somewhere far off, about life in general.

Who knew that one day we would all stand shoulder to shoulder on worlds stars away fighting for not only ourselves but for possibly countless other lives out in the galaxy. I never thought I would see the day when I would meet a real “alien.” So many things in so little time… We, as a species, have lost so much but in return we have learned so much, a heavy price to pay indeed for knowledge. But thanks to this knowledge we can now fight back against those who took all that we love away, the Bane.

To those who read my public entry on the AFS network know that what you do today makes a difference tomorrow. I may not be an officer who gives orders that change the worlds but I do see the blood, tears, and smiles drawn on the battlefield and those who benefit from your selfless actions. To you I salute with all my pride as a fellow AFS member but more so as being grateful for all those who head out to field. Without you there is no hope, and without hope there is no future. To you I salute.
