+1 on that.

Great pic's Happy Man

I remember taking my father in law to the Punch Bowl in Honolulu to visit the grave of his good buddy that was killed in Vietnam.  A moment I will never forget.  Until that time he was never able to really talk about the loss of his friend.

A couple of years later we were in Washington and went to the Vietnam Memorial where he found his friends name on the wall.  Later he looked through the book of names of those on the wall and recounted several stories of other men he had known that made the ultimate sacrifice.   Two tours of Vietnam and 20+ years of service in the Army, a man I have the utmost respect for.

Now I have a nephew currently in Iraq.  His 2nd tour there along with one in Afghanistan.   Expect him to be a 20+ year man also.

God Bless them all for their duty and loyalty to our great nation.
