Very well said gentlemen. I too appreciate the sacrifices of our servicemen and service women. Lets also take a minute to remember the sacrifices of the spouses and children that you know were going through a lot of hard times both financial and emotional while their loved ones were and are away. I cannot imagine what it was like for the young wives, mothers, children, and yes fathers of our soldiers who were away, especially in a war zone. Just waiting for but hoping not to receive that telegram had to be a dreadful experience. Regrettably I did not go into the service.
As for the comments about police and firefighters, I actually am both and its an honor to serve but it does not nor should it compare to our great men and women and yes sometimes boys who served in combat 1000nds of miles away, or in their back yard come to think about it.
