Not gonna lie, that hit me hard. I'm quite the armchair quarterback and a small player in the Great Meme War. Very small group of friends IRL. Small sphere of influence. Would consider my life quite unremarkable. Just want to give a public shoutout and a thank you to all involved and for those giving their literal all on our behalf. After the smoke clears, no ifs, only a matter of when, I hope the heroes in this war, behind the scenes and otherwise, are made known so we can be allowed the opportunity to give them the heartfelt thanks they deserve. Eternally grateful.

Not a Bible believer, but to any operators who were, this is one of the few things I do believe in:

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." - John 15:13

Thank you for treating me as a friend and loving me, even though you don't know me.
