As soon as I posted it occurred to me you may mean people on active duty, in uniform. If so you need to understand that there are severe restrictions on what one can do while in uniform, I suspect this would be a bad idea for them.
I learned that already.

I think I was the first to suggest that we get some troops from Ft. Hood to come...so I take the blame for making a suggestion that was meant well...
but, I admit I didn't think it through, or I would KNOW, that they couldn't just go to a political protest like that.
Sorry, Humidston, I don't want YOU to get flamed for suggesting it...I wish though, that some troops that might be "off duty" that weekend, could stroll down in their jeans and boots, just to say HI!---and let us thank them in person.
