An honest thank you,

I don't know if this is allowed in this topic but i just wanted to thank all the men and women who have, Is or is going to be enlisted.

Air force, Navy, Marines, Army All of you guys, Seriously from a U.S. Citizen Thank you! My cousin did two tours in Iraq with the Air Force in doing security and my grandpa fought in the Korean war.

And all these people in this country who disgrace our armed forces by protesting at servicemen funerals, No Morals, Respect, Dignity or Loyalty whatsoever.

What your doing for our country, Deserves the upmost Respect from every U.S. Citizen in my opinion, But hey I guess freedom of speech is a two way street. Unfortunately some people Dont have the Common Sense to Speak.

So as ive said, Thank you Sincerely from my Family and I.

 

x2 to that, regardless if we are doing the right thing over there or not you folks are just doing your job and one HELL OF A JOB and a job that most people wouldn't want to do, yeah i dont get all those protest and people being disrespectful towards servicemen.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes."[/FONT]

It's nothing against you or others personally, but your good intentions are just intentions devoid of tangible action. Please study the information others and myself presented here for more understanding on the topic...

Thanks to all of you who support us, YOU are why we do what we do.

Thanks to my brothers and sisters in arms at home and downrange, stay safe, stay strong and come home soon.

Thanks most of all to the wives, husbands, fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters and loved ones. Your job is hardest of all and without you behind us we could not go forth and defend America.

Personally I want to thank my son, who at 3 yrs old will probably never read this. Thank you for trying to understand why daddy has to leave and being good for mommy while I'm gone. YOU are the reason I give everything to make sure you are safe and never have to worry.
