I just wanted to thank all of those in service to this country (US), and the families that support them. Growing up in a military family I got to see first hand the sacrifice made by my Mother, and the rest of the family.

No matter their mission, they serve and sacrifice.

Thank you!

P.S. My Father served 25 years, and through two wars/conflicts. The anniversary of him passing is coming up soon. I ask that replies please be respectful, and if you have something political or non-respectful comments please post them on another topic. Thanks in advance!

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

~Abraham Lincoln

Although I am against wars of all kinds in principle, I have always had the utmost respect for those who have served in the military & have been willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to make this the country that I am proud to live in. And for the families who support them. Because in reality, wars & conflicts happen. I hated it when the American people showed such disdain for the Viet Nam veterans. Enjoy your day!!!

I just wish I was back in DC today, watching Rolling Thunder. That is powerful!!!

I don't think I have ever come across any thread here on CM that has been as easy to endorse.No qualifier,no exceptions necessary.....just a simple thanks to all those who serve....and all those who stand behind them.
Your service and sacrifice is appreciated .Thank you.
