Marine's
Thanks for the awesome post...
It just makes me think about how many times Marines and myself have been out in the middle of NOWHERE. You ask "Does anyone have a guitar?" Well, usually you have at least one and sometimes you will be surprised what pops out. My most favorite was going through Al Asad Air Base in 2005, a Marine heard music outside his sleeping area, it was my group passing through, he proceeded to find the music with his BANJO in toe. Not much sleep that night but listening to them play and attempting to sing pretty much whipped out all the crap we had dealt with that day..
Anyways long story short, about the only thing that the services members ask is just "Remember us when your at home enjoying yourself and your family "Free and Safely" thats about as much thanks as we need.
God Bless you for the post, and please remember all our servicemen and women during this holiday period.
Merry Christmas, Have a Happy New Year...
God Bless & Semper Fidelis.
