Big Don, Thanks for the welcome.

Would'nt it be great if the population at large
respected the service of others as it is here.

Best Wishes to all.
 
U.S. Army 2004-2007, National Guard 2007-2013:eek:

Iraq 05-06 (yes, just once... they wouldn't let me volunteer for another go 'round without re-upping).

That said, I do not consider myself a hero by any means. Yes, I was in combat, however, it was nothing like WWI, WWII, or VN. Only once have I been called a "baby killer", while 'Nam vets got it on a daily basis. You guys are true heroes, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for fighting for my freedom to fight for yours.
