[JazzScreamer 1]

Please remember those that have made the ultimate sacrifice and those military members that are serving as we speak. I know there are a few fromer, active, reserve, and retired member on this forum. As a former Airman, I thank you all for what you do, have done and are doing. May god bless you all and your families.

Thank you....Heres a good read. This was sent out by my FOB commander. Its from the Joint Chiefs of Staff

I know its a day late, but its never too late to remember those who gave everything.

Joint Cheifs of Staff-

Sometimes a good walk is all you need to appreciate things. On a recent trip to Iraq, I really wanted to get a better sense of security conditions on the ground. So, I went to a little town in Dora

This is a very important day, and I think so many people take what it represents for granted by abusing the rights and liberties protected by the ones who died to preserve them.

I was hoping there would be a bit more response to this thread. Where is the American pride?

I have a massive amount of respect for anyone in the armed services.

That respect doesn't extend, however, to whoever's coming up with policy decisions lately. The first half of that letter is pretty galling, IMO...I think I'd have a lot more pride in America if we took as much effort in diplomatic efforts as we did in military ones.

I was out of town till late last night.

I want to extend my best wishes to my brothers and sisters in arms. Active, reserve, national guard and retired all as one.

an exceptionally heartfelt thanks to those who paid the ultimate price. You and your families can never be repaid by this country for the courage you showed and the patriotism and valor you lived your life with.

Quite a few of us regulars were on vacation, and when I got home on Monday I didn't really glance at anything that wasn't in the top 5 new post section.
