my godson is enroute back to afghanastan for his 3rd tour... all the guys going with him are first timers and say they are glad to have someone w/experiance along...he's army
dh was a fighter pilot in the usmc.. the 2 of them have a good time debating which service is better.. i'm just grateful for all the ones who serve.
make it a point to thank anyone you see wearing a uniform.. sad to say, they are so surprised when you do, and really, who deserves our thanks more?
