I really don’t have any profound thoughts. All I can say to those of you who are or were in the armed forces: Thanks for doing what I didn’t have the courage to do.
One thing I will say: This ex-liberal hippie-type who came of age in the 70s never, EVER disrespected the military, even when I was completely against the Vietnam war. I’m proud of that, at least.
My nephew is enlisting in the Marines. I expect I’ll have more to say this time next year.
Semper Fi to your nephew! My husband is a former Marine. He was a REMF(Rear Echelon Mother F****r)-in his case, a clerk- with a helicopter squadron during the Reagan years.
I agree, a belated thank you to all of the strong men and women that are ready to make the ultimate sacrifice in order to keep us safe from the savages.
I, and many others like me, will continue to provide you with the technology that you need in order to give you the edge against the barbarians!
