I went to the Ranger memorial today and I could really feel it. It was my first time going there. When I walked up to it my mind went still. I looked at the ranger creed engraved in the solid granite and the names of the men who died and distinguished themselves as Rangers. Energy washed over my body and I could feel a deeper part of myself. I could feel the energy, the strength of all Rangers past present and future, supporting me, giving me the confidence and energy I need to bear the awesome responsibility of leading a platoon in a counter-insurgency. It was an amazing experience.
