Very good, gorio!

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

I wonder why it is so hard to understand for some folks that we served or serve because we love our country, and we love our brothers and sisters with whom we serve.

May God bless you, brother.
Thank you for your service.

Thank you, Gorio!

Like I have said once or twice before, I was discharged FROM the Navy, but, as far as I'm concerned, I've NEVER been discharged from my OATH, and I doubt that I'll ever do it while I'm alive!

Thank you, & God Bless you!
