I have a couple of Army guys in Ramadi I exchange emails and somtimes chat with. Both say that thanks is nice, but do not call them Heros. It's wonderful bit of perspective. One is a Lifer, the other can't wait to get out. I don't get out much so I have yet to encounter a serving military type. You might want to add referring them to various vet groups (VFW, DAV, etc), they are some powerful allies. Side Note: When I got back the VFW, in particular, had no room for 'Nam vets. All that has changed, a returning vet could do worse than visiting them.

Couldn't be with a better pack of fighters. Posted by: 1st Cav | Sep 22, 2006 12:06:17 AM Post a comment Comments accept simple HTML for formatting and linking.
