It's no secret that this forum is made up of some of the most patriotic , freedom-loving Americans around. I have noticed a lot of vets and actives on here , I'm sure this has been done before but I just wanted to start a thread where everyone could post a little something to our brothers and sisters that are serving.....

I am a vet myself, but managed to stay out of the dessert, so to my brothers and sisters my deepest and sincerest thank you to you for youservice andsacrifice ...

My thoughts and prayers are with you....come home safe......[sm=americanasmiley.gif]






This thread is not intended as a place to voice your opinion about the war, how ever any of us feel about that, we still must support our troops ...so please save that for another thread....

 

I am not a vet myself, but am working in Iraq and I have to tell you that these GREAT young men and women have my utmost respect for the jobs that they do. Thank you to all of you who have and are serving!

 

Same goes to all the UK and coalition forces / troops in both Iraq and Afganistan - so here is my deepest and sincerest thankyou to you for yourservice andsacrifice ...

Hats off and heads bowed for all our men and women in uniform wherever they are. Take care and god bless.

Ride Safe.

 

[sm=americanasmiley.gif]I agree

 

Proud to have served and proud of those that are in harm's way to keep us safe. It really brings a (patriotic) tear to my eye when I see young kids joining because they want to do something patriotic.

 

Army Vet and now in the AF. Love the Military and still get choked up during the National Anthem... Dont agree with everything in this country,like illegals, but I will always stand true and be Patriotic!!!

 

I served in Kandahar, Afghanistan, recently returning home after 13 months deployed, and I can tell you that the US, British and Canadian soldiers are some tough S.O.B's. I participated in many missions, into some of Afghanistan's more dangerous area's, where the War Fighters in the back of my aircraft were from another nation. Every nations' Soldier's, Sailor's and Airmen, who are engaged in the Global War on Terrorism are deserving of respect.

m.a.c.

 

Served 24 years and spent some time in the Gulf area.My hats off to all of the folks still serving and wishing them a speedy and safe return home.
