The current American Solider is a volunteer (they have been since 1975) and they do a job non of us want to (I know I sacrificed 22 years of my best years for our country), I thank those who are currently serving, those who have served, those who have died for my freedom and those wounded warriors that I see every day in San Antonio, all I can say God Bless the American Soliders

Son is in Iraq.
Nephew is in the Med.
Other nephew is in Afganastan.
Another one (SEAL) just got back to his wife in HI after 15 months on the road.
My heartfelt blessings and thanks goes out to all who have served and all those that are serving.
Thank you and God Bless America.

I've been active duty for 35 years and I've served two exchange appointments in the US alongside some of my favorite people in the world.

I'm sitting in safety now in the "rear area" but we still support the guys and gals doing the serious stuff every day of the week. The real heros
