ezlead 42 Posted May 30, 2006 I have 5 good friends,whom I will call Brothers, on The Wall in DC. Yesterday I remembered the good times we had and thanked them all for giving everything they had for this country. It is a better world because of men like them!

+Jug 99 Posted June 23, 2006 A person who voluntarily puts on the uniform of this country in any capacity is my brother/sister in arms. We share the strength of noble purpose that states ours is a nation worth defending, if necessary even with our own lives. I know this is not for everyone, but they will not have that special place in that long line during final rollcall. I have friends on The Wall and friends who flew off into the high ether never to return. I keep in touch with those I knew then and when we get together (fatter and older) it is like we never left each other's side. It is good to know that there are plenty of fine people in our nation that still feel the same way. I wish I could meet and talk with each and every one, get to know them, and, maybe even, swap a few lies. We do have so many shared memories. Our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines have gladly made this place we call home a place where the self-proclaimed expert media can dog-cuss them and others can spout off about things they know nothing about. Freedom flourishes because of their daily sacrifices. I salute those today who really make this blessed nation the best friend you can have on earth and, equally, the worst enemy you can imagine.......your choice!
