Dang. Don't send me to places that make me cry. I'm a military brat, a military widow, and a military mom. I KNOW what this country is about.
I taught my children to fight for what they believe in, and the military taught them how to do it right. I come from 17 generations of "fighters" and the desire to win has been passed on to my grandchildren.
I don't need to be reminded of what this country means...but thanks, anyway! ;o]
You asked for specific information in post #42. You wanted a list of the countries that offered help of any kind.
To avoid cluttering Wolfstar's wonderful pictorial time-line thread, I provided you with a link, noting the exact post number to find the information you requested. It is all typed out with the exact nature of the assistance.
What on earth that has to do with what this country stands for, or your families long military history escapes me.
BTW, thank you to your family for their service to our country. I remain a staunch supporter of the military and their mission.
