Thanks to all of you. I think that one of the things that makes Our armed forces so powerful is that Each and Every one of or servicemen( and women) Volunteered to serve. We have a military that is truly dedicated to You and Me.
Kinda scary if you are on the other side of the line in the sand. Really scary if you ask me.
Scary in a Good Way!
Thank You All, for you service.
The deepest of Thanks to all our Service Personel to keep our Country free and safe. Being right next door to Camp Pendelton Marine Corp Base I have and do see the effect it has on the many families who's loved one is now abroad.
May this conflict end most expeditiously and bring our troups back home safely!
Sincere appreciation and thanks to all those mentioned, and all unmentioned who have or are currently protecting our freedom! God Bless you all, and God Bless America!

The surest way to become a pacifist is to join the infantry. I don't make the infantryman look noble, because he couldn't look noble even if he tried. Still there is a certain nobility and dignity in combat soldiers and medical aid men with dirt in their ears. They are rough and their language gets coarse because they live a life stripped of convention and niceties.
Their nobility and dignity come from the way they live unselfishly and risk their lives to help each other. They are normal people who have been put where they are, and whose actions and feelings have been molded by their circumstances. There are gentlemen and boors; intelligent ones and stupid ones; talented ones and inefficient ones.
But when they are all together and they are fighting, despite their bitching and griping and goldbricking and mortal fear, they are facing cold steel and screaming lead and hard enemies, and they are advancing and beating the hell out of the opposition.
They wish to hell they were someplace else, and they wish to hell they would get relief. They wish to hell the mud was dry and they wish to hell their coffee was hot. They want to go home. But they stay in their wet holes and fight, and then they climb out and crawl through minefields and fight some more.
Amen

Just wanted to put things in perspective.
