I must say i have never had a death from war come close to me.

But now I have. I have never once taken my freedom and country for granted but I have also never said thank you.

To all the people on this board Canadian or American and any other soldier out there who may read this.

I just want to say Thank you. Thank you to those who risk their lives or have lost their life fighting for our freedom. Thank you to all those who support our freedoms and our way of life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

 

Well said, dj. I echo your thanks.

 

I'll third it!

I feel the Troops fighting the good fight can never, ever be recognized and Thanked enough. I take every opportunity to recognize them and haven't had to duck yet!

God Bless our Troops!

 

DJ,
Thank you for saying what I feel in my heart.

 

Had dinner tonight with a Marine Lt. Col. who just returned from a year in Iraq. I was very interesting to hear a different perspective on how we are doing there from an actual "boots on the ground" Marine! These very young men deserve far more credit than the we as Americans give them! He is retiring next year from the Corp because he can't handle another year away from his family. God bless our Soldiers, Marines, Air Force, Navy and Coast Guard!
