>>Children are finally beginning to have some "true live heroes"
This is true.
My boys and I have been waving at the Army National Guard as they fly over our house in Black Hawks for 3 years...(they've seen us and actually circled our house three seperate times.) Just today we finally figured out how to send them a letter of appreciation. The jedis drew pictures of us cheering them on!

They are heros worth having, that's for sure.
Nice to have little artists in your family! Are you going to find a way to send them to the base?
