Personally I have never served in the armed forces, nor am I at an age where I was ever asked to serve. Although, If I had been drafted and needed I would have been there and served my country with honor. Growing up in the 60's I know alot of people that lost their lives in Viet Nam and I feel that I understand what the young men today are doing for us over in Iraq. I have had two nephews and one niece serve in Iraq and appreciate everything that they are doing to protect US and our loved ones. I don't think that the United States Citizenship as a whole appreciate what these young men and women are doing for us. These young people should be treated with utmost respect and everytime that I see one I salute them with the respect that they are due.
Tell your Nephew that I said "Thank You".
