God bless you for your service. It's funny, I wanted to apply for JAG (I was gradutating law school, And had my first born child 3 months later). My dad, out of the blue, came to visit me and told me the same thing--he wanted that during the Korean War. Except he was 4F for his high blood pressure: Because he'd had the bar exam the day before. :)

Just a note to those in the field: there are so many who admire you and would love to help...but we're failures next to you,'

Thank you

Both myself and my men were always in some sort of trouble, we always needed good lawyers. You would have come in handy.

If you are not too old, go talk to a recruiter. Sometimes they can cut you a special deal, plus there is always the Reserves and National Guard.

Naaa..I am not a "hero".

Heroes are ones who sacrifice their lifes for their fellow countrymen and for others.

I have done no such thing.

True hereos are the military folks who died in Desert Storm, Somalia, and those who died in Iraq and all past conflicts/wars.

True heroes are the crew and passengers of United 93. They knew they were not going to make it, but they did what they did in order to save the people at the White House/Capitol Building.

Those are the true Heroes.

I salute them...
