Outstanding! Outstanding article. Ben Stein at his finest.

I agree 100%. The greatest people the world has never known, the men and women of The United States Armed Forces and their families and friends.

Our freedoms are entirely dependent upon brave men and women who will treat roughly those that should threaten those freedoms.

G_D bless them one and all, where ever they stand watch over us tonight.

Gotta love Ben. He would probably really enjoy FReeping at WRAMC on Friday nights. And I bet he would fit right in.

Armed Forces BUMP!!

Ben Stein is a great speaker, if you ever get a chance to see him speak, I highly encourage it. I saw him when he came out to UCSB for a talk and he was just amazing.

"So, as the science fiction year of 2006 dawns, my main resolution is to keep in mind the guys(and gals) in whose shadows we all walk, behind whose shields we all live, the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces, and God bless them and their families in 2006 and forever."

AMEN!

Happy New Year!

Semper Fi,
Kelly
