I have friends who served and luckily they all came back aliveand relatively unharmed. However I highly recommend everyone read the book "Lone Survivor" by Marcus Luttrell. For those who haven't heard of him, he a Navy SEaL involved in Operation Redwing. It was him as well as three other SEaLs who get ambushed by around 200 Taliban. Luttrell was the only survivor. Hearing his personal accounts of what happened truly blew me away. To hear about the courage of these men was a real eye opener. Some of these men got shot multiple times in the chest, neck, even the head, yet the continued to fight literally until their last breath. It really gave me a far greater appreciation for what these men truly do.
Thank you to everyone who had the courage to serve, everyone who is serving now and to everyone who gave their life in order for us to do what we do everyday. Regardless of how you feel about the war, please always support the troops. Without them doing what they do, we could all lose everything.

just got home from the local memorial day parade that my boys performed in and want to brag a bit about them.they played the marine corp.hymm and they sounded like professional out there.i'm proud of my boys for having the talent and spirit to go out there and show their support for our men and women serving in the military.i want to also say thanks to all the men and women (both here on the tank and out there) who put their lives on the line to defend our freedoms and way of life
