"While listening to the Sean Hannity show this afternoon I heard much mention about our soldiers, especially our long forgotten POW."

There are a total of 20 MIA's from the Gulf War alone plus over 1500 from Viet Nam.

Where can I find the statistics for POW/MIA's from other wars than Vietnam?

Please take a moment and Thank a Service Man or Woman.

The other day, a Navy SH-60 Seahawk helicopter crashed off the Greek coast. Three young men were killed, two Lieutenents and one Petty Officer Second Class Aircrewman, who was in the same rate I am in. He also wore these:

He, and the Pilots, were conducting a simple Maintinence Check Flight. I've done thousands.

In the military, enemy action is not the only danger. By its very nature, the business is risky.

Thanks, for your kind thoughts, and support.

Thanks, LBGA, for the ping.

Great essay, kinganamort. So many of us are feeling much the same. It's good to see these feelings in print.

Let's all do our best to never let our brave men and women be forgotten. I wear a "Mercy Band" every day which bears the name of Margaret L. Benson, a port authority officer who died at TWC on Sept. 11. She will never be forgotten.

Anyone interested in purchasing a Mercy band, please go to:

Mercy Band

This is a great way to remember a hero (if not all of them) that died on 9/11.

Beautiful essay, Kim. I copied it and emailed it to two FRiends of the USO Canteen FReeper Style thread, SK1 Thurman, (Sandy), who is a petty officer first class and is currently in the US Navy serving at Mayport Naval Station, Florida, and her sister, Trish, a Marine lieutenant who has been in Afghanistan and is current aboard the USS BATAAN somewhere in the Arabian Sea. She shared her journal with us, (the 12 days of Christmas in Afghanistan). Trish has been away from home since 9/20/01.

Both of these ladies are soldiers as you described in your essay. They love this country and are proud to serve it, where ever and when ever called.

Thanks for your tribute to all who serve!
