In Response to your Post # 2787 in the previous thread, 12/10/18. In part you stated, “You know, I don’t think we’ll know “the half of it”. So many warriors serve without recognition. A walk through the halls of Walter Reed, and you know it to be true. I’ve been there more than once. What I’ve seen will never leave me. It is humbling to know of the depth of their commitment and honor. Our country has the absolute greatest military that has ever walked this earth.”


I haven’t had the opportunity to walk through Walter Reed. But I know of the commitment and sacrifices. I had a good friend that didn’t make it back from Vietnam. A mortar round landed on him. I just lost my close, dear friend this October. He was my hunting buddy. He too was a casualty of the Vietnam war. He died from complications due to prolonged Agent Orange exposure.

These fine men gave us there best and ultimately their all. I’m proud to be able to call them friends. Q and our President, as well as his family, are all giving us their best. I’m proud to be following their lead as best as I am able.

PS. Thanks for the kind words at the end of the post, it is an amazing time we live in.

I am honored to have had this conversation with you, Kalam. I, too, am a veteran, but I had a desk job. Any of us that went through combat... I lose words, really.

You have my deep sympathy in your losses. I know you hold close your buddies and your time of service. Both were gifts.

...thanks to Q, we can continue to be of service... :)
