I went on base for the first time in a full year. Going away from the military life and stepping back into it illuminates several things that I never noticed before. This is probably more obvious than I thought, but we had to stop our car in the middle of a round-about, with several cars following suite, because the national anthem was playing.
When I was on base all the time, I remember feeling proud and excited for whenever this happened. The feeling of pride came back again, but I also wondered if this was something that non-military folk ever get to experience. Americans dont get many opportunities to feel their nationality. Hearing the national anthem today took me there.
