What Does Service Means to You?

Dear James,

Today I devote all my time to servicing you. This means giving back my time, love, and support as you have done for me.  You are the cement that holds my life together; you are the sun that brightens everyone day.  Though your humor sometimes most often catches me off guard, I would not change it for the world because your laughing heart has always kept me grounded.
Today, I stop to realize that out of all the men in our family you are the only guy that I could ever call a real man.  You have serviced our country with your soul at stake, but never once have I ever heard you complained.  For this my tears roll down my cheek because I am happy to serve you as you have served me. 
Yesterday I realized what I have known for years that you are a man of loyalty, integrity, and a man devoted to servicing God.  You have accomplished what many folks stigmatize as impossible, while others made excuses.  You do this, what we call service with so much grace that I am certain that you are an angel sent here from God's place.   
I have learned though my studies that there are four types of people in this world:
1.   the talkers, those who talks about doing something but, never does,
2.    the watchers, those who sit around an observes things but, never put that observation to use,
3.   the thinker,  
4.   and then there was you, the actionist.  A person who is an advocate of direct action that who makes 1 -3 a simple reality.

Now it is your time to receive and accept what we have in store for you.  It is our time to devote what you have always devoted to us your service.
