We have a guy over in Iraq with the NG right now. Although we've had a reduction in force, his job is still waiting for him. The rest of us have picked up the slack so he'll have that job. We are all extrememly proud of him and what he's doing.
On behalf of your buddy, and all Reserve-component service members who are so fortunate as to have such thoughtful folks taking up the slack and looking out for them back home, let me offer a humble word of thanks.
