What can one say? Bless the American service member! Any chance you get, say "thanks" for what they are doing and going through. Thank the Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors, Marines, and Coast Guard. That includes the Active, Reserve, and Guard. With out the current "crop" and the former members, America would NOT be America.

Sorry, but that's my bucks worth and I flippin' stickin' to it! Ladies and Gentlemen of the American Armed Forces; You simply ROCK!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck, God Speed, Watch your (and your brethren's) back, and bring your asses home safe and sound!

Umm, yeah, Just try and remember that you're not alone out here... There... Where ever. There's generally other "Blue" forces somewhere around you.

My "bucks worth and I flippin' stickin' to it" too!

Murdo,

In no way did I mean to exclude the "friendlies." I should have, and do apologize, for not including our closest allies. I don't want to fall under the Political Umbrella, but the United Kingdom is there at the top of the list.

I know the Americans are not the only ones involved with the world's current situation. There are many Democratic nations that hold the same beliefs and nations that aren't Democratic in nature. AND there are many citizens of other beliefs that support what is going on. I truely wish that what is going on was NOT going on, but I am merely a retired Army dude that does not have too much say, except my vote.

Again, Murdo, I did not want to imply that the Americans are the only one in the "fight."

And thank you for your comment! Peace Brother. My eyes have been opened, again.

Murdo,

You EVER show up in Colorado, you let me know! I will hook you up! I say that 'cause I know how the Europeans BBQ (been "over there" for 10 years). You ain't had a BBQ unless you have either been to the South or at my house!

See ya!!!!!!!!!!!

Mike
