As I understand it, the Heros travel bug wishes to meet and pay tribute to heros everywhere.
So, I took the TB with me when I had lunch with a dozen members of my Army Reserve unit today.
I was called to active duty very quickly after Sept 11, 2001 with a number of unit members, and many more were activated in January this year.
Last week, I ended my 2-year tour of duty at Ft McCoy Wisconsin and there are some people still on duty at my unit.
Many of them, like myself, have done something in the past when in uniform which makes them heros.
Many of them, one in particular I sat with at lunch, are seasoned police officers or firefighters who are everyday heros when wearing another uniform.
Many are heros because they are making a huge sacrifice either financially or by being geographically separated from their families, or in some cases both.
Then, the TB accompanied me as we visited another cache which was sort of in the neighborhood, the Castle Cache by bedfinders.
My next stop is at the local American Legion, where the Heros TB will make the acquaintance of some American Heros from the past. I also have a battered flag which I will turn over to the legion for proper disposal.
sincerely,
M England
