Old soldiers never die, but this one is not fading fast either. good for you,sir!

I'm glad you posted this! Joe Repya has done alot in the Twin Cities for supporting the troops and now he's going to Iraq! What a man!

This is something you don't do "for oil", or for a war that you don't believe is worth dying for. G-d bless him.

This was an awesome post... I forwarded to everyone in my address book and local talk radio.. It's a great and inspiring story...

Good for him, you don't see many retired e-5 or 6s returning to duty, much less a LtCol.

I sure wish I was able to go with you sir....

God bless and watch over you....and all our troops...

'This here' is a real American....

Sir;

I salute and stand by you! GOD bless, good luck & happy hunting! Shoot fast straight & often!

Wish they would take a 68 year old.

If not, then we citizens must all find other ways to serve. Maybe, as long as I work, my taxes will help the cause.

In any event, I salute the 58 year old who has gone back in to the service.

I wish Tommy Franks had remained -- maybe GW will find another way for him to serve - Mrs. Franks needs to realize how much the nation needs Tommy's many talents.

What a wonderful story! I think Ollie North would get back in if he could, that's why he's reporting with the troops so much, he just loves it.

God bless him and his family.

This man is a true unselfish American. I hope he earns his 'eagle' during this service for his country.
