May God bless and receive this child.
That having been said, I was one of those boys who drew pictures of Army men. Then I became one and after that a policeman.
I have - skills. There are many thousands more like me who are far more skilled and experienced in arts that would make the bleeding heart bedwetters who persuaded this child to write this sign faint dead away.
We are the rough men who stand ready in the night to do violence on their behalf so they can sleep soundly in their beds (h/t to TR).
I fear that the generation who headed off to Iraq and Afghanistan may be the last of the breed.

Something about what you wrote touched me in such a way that I knew this prayer was for you:
May God Bless you and keep you and allow your sons and daughters to honor your name.
Thanks for your service.
However, with the weaponry now a single service man or women can do a lot more damage then we could when I was in during the 80's. The Reagan years, a proud time to be an American.
Do you realize in this day and age you and I could be kicked out of school for the pictures we used to draw. A stern letter could be sent to our parents advising counseling before we would be allowed back in?
I remember once in grade school we were given these long and wide sheets of paper to draw on. About a dozen boys and I proceeded to draw one big battle scene. What a bunch of homicidal maniacs we all turned out to be.
