[pct-l] Rights, Freedoms, Codes and Backpacking

I any discussion about freedoms, etc., we should take a moment to thank the 
men and women in military uniform who are on the front lines to protect those 
rights.  

Yes, lawyers, advocates, and concerned citizens all contriubte too.  But it 
is the commitment and courage of our fellow citizens in uniform that allows 
everything else to exist. In America we too often take for granted our 
freedoms, because we do NOT have the policitical and destructive history like 
other countries. 

I would think in a lot of other places backpacking/hiking would certainly not 
be allowed or at least heavily restricted. This list would not even exist. I 
think most everyone on this list realizes all these things and that's great!  
Happy trails, Switchback
