Its not that I want glory and recognition either. I dont care if someone even steals it all for themselves. I want to actually make a difference in people's lives. I want my hardship and my pain and my sacrifice to mean something.
Your words are meaningful to me, thank you. I went to an aviation museum yesterday and what you're saying here sounds so familiar to some quotes I copied from a section of the museum. You aren't the first to think like this, nor do I hope you to be the last. I just wanted to share that the way you think is the same as other pioneers.
"And then while we were standing at attention a bomber took off followed by four fighters. We knew the bomber was headed across the ocean and that the fighters were going to escort it. As they circled over us I could hardly see them for the tears in my eyes. It was striking symbolism and I think all of us felt it. As long as our planes fly overhead the skies of (country) are free and that's what all of us everywhere are fighting for. And that we, in a very small way, are being allowed to help keep that sky free is the most beautiful thing I have ever known."
"I, for one, am profoundly grateful that my one talent, my only knowledge, flying, happens to be of use to my country when it is needed. That's all the luck I ever hope to have."
The sounds like the satisfaction of usefulness Well-behaved individuals never make history and your unconventional line of thinking, in service to others, is incredible. Thank you for your service, Serloco.
