Godspeed Travis, you will be welcome at the side of God, and you will be in the company of other noble warriors. We'll miss you.

Thank you from me personally. Can't speak for everyone else. Dad fought the Japanese in WWII and Uncle H. fought in the Battle of the Bulge. Thanks to them and thanks to your Marine. I'm grateful for the freedom and lifestyle we enjoy. Now, I wish someone would kick all of the ingrates out of this country and do it now.
