What bothers most critics of my work is the goofiness. One reviewer said I need to make up my mind if want to be funny or serious.

#quotes #david-kay #iraq

As tough as things have been, I am convinced you are tougher. I've seen your passion and I've seen your service. I've seen you engage and I've seen you turn out in record numbers.
