A salute to all of you. Here is a woman that should get a big salute. WWW.kaziahthegoatwoman.com She paints portraits of the fallen soldiers from Iraq, frames them and sends them back to the respective families. She does not charge any family a dime. Check out the web site. She is an American.

Returned May 31, 1975. Was doing Airborne Recon during the fall of Saigon, April 1975....then my war was over. Retired AF Chief Master Sergeant.

Remember: we celebrate Independence Day, we don't celebrate the 4th of July.

Thanks to all who have served and who are serving.
