Before you enter this realm I will concede that it is not for everyone nor do all agree with wars and conflicts. I write these as a veteran who has served and seen their share of combat and I never considered right or wrong I stood when and where my country asked. If you as a person CAN NOT and WILL NOT accept the meaning of defending our country and serving it with pride and distinction I pray that you close this now without continuing. IF you decide to read on I hope that you will appreciate what I have placed here and the praise and supoort that our men and women in uniforn have, do and will deserve.
