Okay, so along with my usual New Year’s Resolutions that I won’t keep—you know, the popular ones like losing weight, quitting smoking, (even though I don’t smoke), or not being so damn grumpy all the time. There is one resolution that this year I am going to keep, no matter what!

Now I’ll be the first to admit that it won’t be very hard to keep this resolution. I won’t have to diet or exercise, I won’t have to wear a nicotine patch on my arm or go through mind altering hypnosis, or even take happy pills like Prozac to improve my sometimes less than cheery disposition.

No, this resolution will be simple, and I’ll be happy to do it. For myself, my family, my friends and even for you reading this now.

This year, and every year that I am able from now on, I will walk up to every member of our Armed Forces that I come in contact with and personally thank them for their service to our country.

See, I told you it wouldn’t be hard, although my wife says I still have to go on a diet.

God Bless America!
