Lest we forget
I just want to salute my brothers and sisters in arms past, present and those to come.
There are few ways in life that folks can show their family, loved ones, friends, themselves and the world that they care enough for them all to put their lives on the line against tyranny, terrorism and those oppressed from freedoms we enjoy daily.
I've served with folks from several different militaries around the world and you what? A soldier is a soldier everywhere! They all get a very thankless job done without ever asking for thanks. I see in some of the comments above that you were thanked in ways and at times you would never have expected.
May God bless those who have served and those who are serving in their endeavors as well as the oppressed they are trying to free.

Lest we forget
Thanks to all that have posted here with their thoughts about our Veterans that have sacrifced much for the freedom we enjoy today.
Just after the election our local news was interviewing a young lady and asked her what she thought of the outcome of the presidential election. She said we just sick and was seriously considering leaving the country for the next 4 years. Where did our society go wrong? How can any US citizen truly feel that way? I was deeply offended by her callous remark. We obviously know her political persuasion which got me to thinking if the election had turned out differently, would we ever hear a conservative say the same? That they would leave this country because of how the election turned out? We might have been greatly disappointed, but we would never, ever even think about leaving this country that we love so much and and to have turned our backs on so many that gave their iives to enjoy the freedom to elect our leaders even if we don't agree with the outcome. Reminds me of the old tired bumper sticker: America, love her or leave her.
One last comment. In our hallway hangs a picture of my wife's great uncle in military uniform superimposed on the American flag. The picture is in a very old oval frame about 12" by 18" with the rounded convex glass that I don't even think you can get anymore. It's a precious heirloom to her family. He died in service to our Country in WW I. He was shot after the war was declared over going thru an area cleaning it up. He was buried in Belgium. It has been said he was the last American killed in WW I. A shame? Absolutely. But he died so we could freely elect our leaders even in 2004. Let's NEVER forget that.
