Yes, thank you for defending the Republic I was lucky to not lose anybody while I was over there in Iraq God answered our prayers and kept us vigilant and we had the best 1st Sgt who cut us no slack!! to keep us on our toes.

Gran Cuda, thanks for your service too. And anyone else on here.

My first tour which was OIF I we only had a few purple hearts. The second time I was in Iraq our batallion had 37 KIA and 275 Purple Hearts. I was in a different battalion. A couple of guys I knew since the School of Infantry were KIA in Fallujah. I wasn't there for them, and that's kinda hard to think about sometimes. But I was where I was meant to be. It just feels like I could've done more. But now I'm starting to get emotional, so I'm just gonna end here before I start going on and on.

We can end it at that!! Thank you for your service and sacrifice so many take for granted and God bless.

Sorry to hear that. It seems that us economy is in really bad shape as SMEs are always more flexible thanbig enterprises. Here in Poland we have outrageous worklabor costs: almost 40% of a wage is taxes and social security. The basic tax for businesses is 19% here but we also have that value added tax (equal to turnover tax in some states).
How does it look in your state?

Making money in smal business here is not easy too - we have lotsa chinese crap in the market but the problem of lack of cash in the market is visible to. THe turnover is smaller and smaller, people dont have cash for hobbies, prices still rise.
And we are living in EU - Greece bankrupcy is amost sure - even though we dont have EURO currency our economy will be striked with all problems of EURO zone.
