Rock The Vote (Is It Still Cool To Say That)

  It's the small things in life that can make you happy. 

  We do our voting absentee style.

  That means I do not get an "I voted" sticker.

  I'm a little unhappy that I don't get to sport that today. 


Every other post on Facebook today has been about voting and I think that is awesome!  I can't imagine living in a country where I didn't have that freedom. 

It made me think about the first time Steven was deployed to Iraq and how he was helping the Iraq government set up and conduct their voting system.  His story about their elections was published in the Field Artillery Journal.  You can go here to read about it.   Steven's article

I remember seeing the pictures of Iraqi men and women holding up their inked purple thumb or finger to show they had voted.  They were so excited!

So wear that "I voted" sticker proudly today!  Be glad you live in a land that you can vote for who ever you want.  Even in Illinois, where you can vote for the 'Nard Dog.  (Yes, this is a real ballot from Kendall County, IL)
