These guys are damn brave. I am lucky to have the privilege to work with some of these warriors and I am always impressed.

In my opinion, this generation of men and women in our nation’s uniform contains within it many of the leaders we are going to need to restore this country to its previous greatness. When it comes to heart, character, and bravery they take a backseat to none of those heroes who came before them.

GO ARMY!!!

Well done, Soldier!

[SJSAMPLE]

Well said.

When a WWII vet dies, it gets a lot of coverage (as it should). But people sometimes complain that we’re losing our “Greatest Generation”.

Not true.
Their ranks are being replenished with soldiers like this.

My boy did two tours of Iraq as a combat medic. The guys in his platoon took real good care of him. They did not want their medic hurt. The only weapon he carried was a 9mm side arm. He needed his hands free to work. He is also a weight lifter and they knew he could pick them up and go if they were injured. He saw some bad things while there. He came back a better man but a much different man.

He is out now and thank god he does not have to serve under Obama.
