yay for those willing to serve especially during a time of war
God bless all of those before us, those now serving and those yet to be called upon.
22 years working on 23, second tour to Iraq, bought my first Vette last year March 2008. Absolutley love driving the car.
To all those back in the world enjoy, everyone one of us abroad misses something special, the smiles, huggs from our loved ones, weekend barbacues with friends beer, home made deserts, and cookies. The Holidays are coming, whenever possible keep those of us out here, in your prayers and thoughts it makes a difference.

I just want to say Thanks to all our servicemen and women for their service to our Country ! God bless you all !
I am retired Civilian Service (1972-2005), worked on Aircraft Ejection Systems (all services), 2.75-INCH and Zuni Rockets and warheads, ASROC rocket, JATOs, and underwater warheads. I was glad to provide support to those at the "tip of the spear".
Great post !
