You are our HEROES! Without you, this country would not be what it is -- the greatest country on earth (despite the ongoing attacks on it from the dopey Hollywierd crowd).

Thank you so much for having the fortitude and commitment to Duty, Honor and Country. As General MacArthur once said "Old soldiers never die....they just fade away." Serving in the U.S. Army was the greatest honor in my life and I can see that you share this feeling too. Thank you again for what you gave our Country. God bless America ! 1SG(Ret.)JMM a.k.a "Top"

Thanks to all of our veterans for making the ultimate sacrifice of their lives and their individual freedoms so that we, back home, are able to enjoy our freedoms on a daily basis. I'm especially proud of my cousin who did his very best in Iraq and came home safe.
Love you, Josh!
