Default Retired today......

Today is my last day as an Active member of the US Army. After 21 years in SOCOM, countless airborne jumps into places I never really enjoyed, I will hang up my guns and move onto something else. I will stand before my peers, fellow Veterans of Wars past and present and say my goodbyes.
But on this day I can’t help but think of those that will never have this chance. As a tribute to them I would like to pass on a web site dedicated to them.

www.thefinalrollcall.us

Here you will find brothers, sisters, fathers, wives, and a few of my close friends that have given all. So please take a few minutes and view the names and faces of these real heroes.

Proud to have served, Jeff

You guys Rock... Thank You, But never forget those we have lost, those who have served, and those who continue to protect

Congrats on surviving to a decision point. Now find you a good government job and earn a second retirement. Oh, and get one that lets someone else play target for a change.

As an American citizen I want to thank you for your service to this great country! Without you and those like you that lay it all on the line this country simply would not exist.

Here's to you!

And here's to you again!

Have a great retirement!

"Thank you" does not seem enough. The American Dream lives because of men like you that are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice. God's speed to you, your family and your comrades.

May success and happiness be your's forever!! THANK YOU!! ARKVETTE
