you know...I have never thanked you for your service...

You fought before I was born. You fought in a war, at the behest of your country...

And then your country turned on you.

Even though I wasn’t born, I read about that time and I am ashamed. Not ashamed that we were at war...ashamed that the nation turned against its own troops.

Read the post about my niece and nephew on this thread.

As I see Americans beginning to think they have no enemies and that any war is bad...I see Americans beginning to blame the people fighting,

Whatever I can do, wherever I can do it. Whatever I can say...whereever I have an opportunity to say it...

I will affirm the American Soldier.

Thank you.

Thank you for your kind thoughts. I read your post.

I am proud of my service and the experence I had. I don't think my life would have been complete if I had not joined the Marines.

It is so nice to see - at least so far - the citizens of this country understand what our young men and women serving today have to go through. Fox News does it best.
