Appreciated.

The simple fact is, those who appreciate liberty the most are generally the most prepared to protect it. They already understand the cost of losing. Many are willing to die to protect it.

Vicariously. Lots in the family. Older brother NBC. Younger brother Apache IP. Both father and uncle served. Would have joined too but color blindness qualifies me to chief potato peeler. Or so I thought at the time. I know now there would have been a place for me in the Army or Air Force (was CAP). Which I didn't find out until younger brother became a recruiter to get his points. Oldest son is a Jarhead.

Needless to say, respect abound.
