A SOLDIER'S PERSPECTIVE
THE WEB'S LEADING MILITARY BLOG SINCE 2004
Okay, people were asking for this so I made it. I guess everyone assumes that when I go to a City Council meeting that there will be fireworks. There are only fireworks when I feel ignored or disrespected. I felt neither today, so it was a basic speech. I was only allotted three minutes.
To intro this video, the Fire Department had just been presented a plaque of appreciation from the National Guard for their support to deployed troops. After the presentation, they left and that is what I am talking about. Since this was a mere city council meeting, I didn’t feel I needed to make time and leave early enough from work to change out of my uniform, though I would have if I weren’t so busy. Sorry about the nose shot through the whole time, but I just placed the camera on the podium from where I was speaking.

CJ, excellent! You are involved instead of just griping like so many of us have done at least part of the time.
Maybe you really are supposed to run for office in the future. You may be a future city council member in Temple, and then perhaps serve in Austin in the state Assembly?
Thanks for sharing and serving your country on a civic, as well as military level.
