Thanks for covering our back!!

Thanks for your service, my friend.
Thanks for you service. (From an electrical engineer. :))
Good Luck and Godspeed....hope they can forward your Asimov subsrition...
got a pocket full of sand,
M16 in my hand,
hear the cannons to the rear,
wish to hell I wasn't here...
mama mama, don't you cry,
Engineers, they never die,
they just slowly fade away,
live to fight another day...
it's never to early to raise a beer for the Engineers-
here's to the 23rd Engineer Company (Heavy), Charlie Co., 802nd Engineer Battalion, and HHC, 326th Engineer Battalion...sometimes I really miss my contact maintenance truck...
Do you get to blow things up? Keep your head down and stay safe!
And remember, in this day and age EVERYEHWERE you go is possibly enemy territory. Be ever vigilant.
God go with you, roaddog. Heartfelt thanks and appreciation from my whole family.
God bless you and all our troops. Your sacrifice is appreciated more than you can ever know. WE LOVE ALL OF YOU.
Prayers and thanks from Texas....

I love the life I have now, but I miss the service every day.
Thanks for what you and all the other reservists and guardsmen do for us.
Our prayers and gratitude go with you.
One more for you roaddog, and Godspeed to you sir...
THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS POEM
They've a song about the Army
The Navy and Marines:
They've got one for the Air Force
The whole darn works it seems.
But they've never taken trouble
Though we've served them all for years,
To write a verse or two
For the Corps of Engineers.
We build their roads and airfields
Their pipelines and their camps,
From underground munitions dumps
To concrete loading ramps.
Before the others get there
We had to break the ground,
And we built it all to suit their needs
Solid, safe and sound.
But the ENGINEERS aren't kicking
For when their moving in,
We know it's just another place
Where we've already been.
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven's scene,
'Tis said the streets will be patrolled
By United States Marines.
Now who will guard the streets up there
We aren't disposed to say,
But we offer this suggestion
If they look at things that way:
When the Marines have taken over
In that land that knows no years,
They'll find it designed and built
By the Corps of Engineers!
God Speed and Thank you for your service...
God be with you.
