Thank you for your support.
I was in combat in Nam in 69 & 70 and I can tell you from personal experience that it's the toughest job in the world.
And I don't know if I would have passed the muster these guys have to pass today.
Believe you me, I didn't go around checking ID's! LOL
We were paid to kill bad guys and he who hesitated didn't make it back!
Semper Fi,
Kelly

I couldn't imagine what it would be like to not only be in combat but also to have to consider the "politics". Its absolutely ridiculous. The older I get the more respect I have for the warriors and Patriots that served and are serving this country. I feel very strongly that to support the troops you must also support their mission, which I do entirely. I will pass this site along to others. And thanks for your service in a war which has been IMO very much mischaracterized, intentionally.
