a haunting reminder of what our service people past & present,are & have done for all of us here at home. i am trully grateful for their sacrifice and courage.
No one comes home from any war the same! casaulities come in all forms!
so as merle said"If you don't love it,leave it!"
i continue to pray for a timely resolution to this situtation and for all US
troops to be home soon !

KILR GREAT POST, GOOD JOB :boxed:

Thanks Kilr.
A quote,
" We send our son's, brothers and friends, but lest we forget, now our daughters, wifes and sisters into war. War is a ugly, and sometimes unexplainable. The war's I have been in, made no sence, but it was our duty and our job. The answers of that war, may never come, But this war, makes even less sence than the old one. Every day, I write the letters, and attend the services of our nations young, and for the first time in my life, I wonder why we are doing this. I have never questioned what our job is and why we do it. But now, as I sit here writing my retirement speach, I want everyone to understand that in war, there are no questions of why. And who are we to ask why war? Heres why and this answer is the one that should burn in your brain. THOSE MOTHER ****ERS TOOK DOWN THE TOWERS, THOSE MOTHER ****ERS TRIED TO TAKE DOWN THE PENTIGON, THOSE MOTHER****ERS KILLED MY SON, MY BROTHER AND MY 5 YEAR OLD GRANDSON, THAT IS WHY WAR YOU IDIOTS!
As I retire today, I will always be a Col. in the Corp, even in retirement, but one thing i will never be is a man that lets a single day pass without saluting my flag, saluting my brothers and sisters in arms, and say a prayer for the ones that are yet to pass in war, EVERY DAY IS MEMORIAL DAY!
I salute all of you for being here to listen to an old fart talk, and thank my friend, Mr. President, for allowing me to lead these fine men and women and serve with these brothers and sisters. If you remember one thing, remember this, EVERY DAY IS MEMORIAL DAY!"
Col. Robert E. James at his retirment speach. There is a part missing but the majority of it is here.

undefinedI would be totally ashamed if I didn't comment on that. I am so touched, sometimes we, no I forget that we ahve it so great here, we are free thanks to those brave souls who risk their lives for us everyday minute to keep us free....Thank you so much for all you do, most of the time, I think that I am not as grateful as I should be...I apologize for that, I tend to want to see the happier side of life in front of me. Once again, God Bless everyone of you, now, before, in the future and those that have fallen, I bow my head in thanks.

I have to agree with this one. My brother just came back from Afghanistan this past week and it was the first time we had seen him in 6 yrs. It was great spending two weeks with him. He's back home in Hawaii for six weeks and then it's off to Iraq!! Big props to my little brother 10 yrs in the Army. He's a crew chief on a Black Hawk, 25th Aviation. Hats off to everyone who serves.
