Thanks to all Veterans and their families for their service and sacrifices.  Every minute meant something.

Sand, mud, malaria be damned.  What's not possible for the faint-of-heart, is possible for Americans.

In Flanders Fields
By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)
Canadian Army
QuoteIn Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.


We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.


Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
SVPete

Envy is Greed's bigger, more evil, twin.

Those who can, do.
Those who know, teach.
Ignorant incapables, regulate.

Thanks to all who served, God Bless you all.

May God Watch over those in harms ways now.

"SALUTE"!!!!!!!!
Evil operates best when under a disguise

WHEN A CRIME GOES UNPUNISHED THE WORLD IS UNBALANCED

WHEN A WRONG IS UNAVENGED THE HEAVENS LOOK DOWN ON US IN SHAME

I served six years in the Navy, Vietnam era (two tours)... I do not deserve thanks for doing my duty to my country and its flag, not the criminal trash who infest the halls of Congress.

PeteR,

Thanks for that music link, brought back a memory or two. :)

And thanks for your service everyone. I offer the colors, and you who have served as well a Salute.
One of every five Americans you meet has a mental illness of some sort. Many, many, of our veteran's suffer from mental illness like PTSD now also. Help if ya can. :) http://www.projectsemicolon.org/share-your-story.html
And no you won't find my "story" there. They don't allow science fiction. :)
