Our Valiant Warriors

After having spent about two hours in the sun this afternoon -- and not even in the sun; outside but in the shade -- I am beat. It's not dehydration (I've gone through about six bottles of water already today), it's not being used to the heat, spending as I do most of my days in air-conditioned comfort. Makes you appreciate even more the sacrifices of our soldiers in the field, wearing 70+ pounds of gear and getting shot at.
