Hi All, I'm not really a regular reader of this particular forum, but was just browsing through. I am not a vet, but my Father (USAF 1959-1963), Grandfather (USMC 1928-1963) and Uncles (USMC and USA) are all vets. I just wanted to say thanks to all the active duty and retired/discharged vets, and their families for your service to our country!

I ditto that!

Thank you for your sacrifice and bravery!

We non-military folks appreciate all your hard work regardless of what the talking heads say about the war and the military efforts!

We Active folks really do think of the Guard/Reserves as equals! I'm VERY frustrated that Rummy & the rest of the politicians inside the Beltway see the Guard/Reserves as "Active Duty on the Cheap" They were NEVER intended for that...
