To Ken, Skip and all who served. I have the utmost respect and gratitude to all who have served in our armed forces. The brave men who risked everything in the Revolutionary war that gave us our freedom. The Civil War, where brother fought agianst brother for their ideals and to preserve the Union of this great Country. WWI, when our men fought in our young and untested military to defeat the German Army. Of course WWII where our men drove back fascism against the Axis Powers. The men who fought in N Korea a "Police Action". The first time politicians really got thier hands into fighting a war and still managed to get the job done. Vietnam, where our Military had to fight 2 wars, the one on the battlefield and the one against the politicians and the drive by media. If it werent for the agenda driven media, there may have been a greatly different outcome. I know who really won that war and I think those that are truely informed know. I have the greatest respect for those who served with valor and honor. My heart aches for you most due to the way you all were treated back home and still to this day any military action is refered to being "as bad as Vietnam', which is BS. Those who fight the global war on terror. You too, are not supported by the media and your succese are not known to many due to this. Again, those of us who look to find the truth know what you have accomplished. And, finally, those who serve when we are not at war. You have stood ready for the call to defend freedom. We all have to respect that. In times of peace you have kept our military on the ready so we could respond in a moments notice. I should also mention the families of those who have served. They to have sacrificed. They have to go about their daily lives and keep things moving at home while their spouse is protecting the Country. I know I have left out a few but I think you get the gist of how I feel. To all the guys and gals who served this great counry all the way back to the seeds of the Revolution i say Thank You! Sorry for rambling on. If I have offended anyone feel free to give me a tongue lashing in PM.
