Amen brother!

I heard one old veteran on talk radio say that he wanted the message to get to our troops that "you have our front, and we have your back!"

There may be a place for us, at the blood bank, the V.A. hospital, or the support the troops rally.

I am so grateful to live in San Diego, where I can thank young Marines in person every day.

I hope when they come home they where distinctive campaign souvenier hats or shirts, so we can recognize them on leave and thank them personally.

"Wear" not "where".

Roger that!

Without question, there will be a campaign ribbon for Iraq.
In addition, I believe the Corps still awards the Combat Action Ribbon for those that actually engaged the enemy.

I can hardly watch the TV, up close and personal with the grunts....
It brings tears of love, pride and gratitude, when I see those fresh innocent faced killers of evil.....
I have lost all fear and concern for the younger generation..
There are more that enough men such as these to counteract the assholes protesting in the streets...
