From what this past month has shown us, EVERYONE who serves in uniform seems so proud of their service. The GUARD plays an important role in the security of our country.

Am pretty sure there were lots of National Guard troops at the airports and various other places that might be of terrorist interest following 9/11........

Thanks for being one of those whose willing to be there for the rest of us.

I was out of the loop by the time 9/11 happened, but that's a diff (and somewhat bitter) story dealing with mismanagement by my former Captain.

Currently I have a cousin over in Iraq 'somewhere', my aunt isn't sure where since he didn't say.
Probably not allowed to, just in case.

A friend of mine who joined up, as a medic, after I left is either in outprocessing to go over or has already left.
The info on that has been so confusing that he's been given two different SP dates. At least.
Hoping they both come back safe.
And, I'm kinda envious of them.

Thanks for thanking me for having been in uniform.
Kinda rare to hear that, actually.
But, I thank those who are still in uniform.
They're the guys who get my props.
