All I did was post my thoughts, You have been serving this country and defending my right to speak. I salute you Sir, and I want you to know that I and this entire country owes you and others like you, more than words can deliver.
I'm probably near your age, but I was denied the opportunity to serve because of being near deaf in one ear, or I would have. So instead, I decided I would do what I could by faithfully donating to the DAV and contribute to as many support efforts for our military personel serving overseas as I can afford.
So when I get the chance to say thanks to someone who has, and is, serving this country, I do!
God Bless you my friend, and thanks for all you have done to ensure me and my family's safety & freedom
Mike
