I myself do not know anyone personally who has died in the service of our nation. Luck and the grace of God carried my forefathers through the Texas War for Independence, the War Between the States, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and myself and my brother-in-law through Desert Storm and Bosnia (respectively) almost unscathed.

But to my shipmates and fellow servicemen who did not make it- I thank you. I salute you. I honor you. What you gave for our nation will not be forgotten.

& I agree w/ Bill. I defy anyone to point to a threat weve been being "saved" from by our military. I dont believe Korea was important to the counttry, but, I could be wrong, however, I KNOW Nam was based on a lie & only made tghe rich richer while our boys died, & THEN,, Nixon couldnt/wouldnt pay the ransom & many were left there, as POWs. But, we abandoned POWS in WWII, soo,, anyway, none of these wars are to better the way of life for us, or keep us safe.

The soldiers don't get to decide whether the war is right or wrong, they just do their duty. That's honorable and they should be honored for it! God Bless America!
