I just updated my Facebook page status with the below story, trimmed to the maximum 420 characters. Here's what I originally tried to post:
Just a few short days ago, in a motel in Tomah, WI, my young boys saw some military men, probably visiting from nearby Fort McCoy.
"Who are they?" one asked.
"They keep us free from the bad guys," I said.
"Like the police?"
"Yeah, sort of."
"But who are the bad guys?" he followed with a look of concern.
They still won't quite understand, but tonight's news has allowed me to explain just a little bit more what those men (and women) do for us, and perhaps help my boys sleep a little easier tonight.
