That to me is the best thing anybody can do is just spend time with... I was in Iraq March 2,2003 to January 18, 2004.... upon leaving the Marine Corp. I visited several families of my buddies (deceased) and one thing they always remember is the support they recieve from their friends, family, and good red-blooded americans like your-self... it is appreciated.

Remembrance...............
[SIZE=3]COME UP FROM THE FIELDS, FATHER Walt Whitman [/SIZE] Come up from the fields, father, here’s a letter from our Pete, Down in the fields all prospers well,And come to the front door, mother, here’s a letter from thy dear son.  Lo, ’tis autumn, Lo, where the trees, deeper green, yellower and redder, Cool and sweeten Ohio’s villages with leaves fluttering in the moderate wind, Where apples ripe in the orchards hang and grapes on the trellis’d vines, (Smell you the smell of the grapes on the vines? Smell you the buckwheat where the bees were lately buzzing?) Above all, lo, the sky so calm, so transparent after the rain, and with wondrous clouds, Below too, all calm, all vital and beautiful,  and the farm prospers well. But now from the fields come, father, come at the daughter’s call, And come to the entry, mother, to the front door come right away. Fast as she can she hurries, something ominous, her steps trembling, She does not tarry to smooth her hair nor adjust her cap. Open the envelope quickly, 0 this is not our son’s writing, yet his name is sign’d, 0 a strange hand writes for our dear son, 0 stricken mother’s soul! All swims before her eyes, flashes with black, she catches the main words only, Sentences broken, gunshot wound in the breast, cavalry skirmish, taken to hospital, At present low, but will soon be better. Ah, now the single figure to me, Amid all teeming and wealthy Ohio with all its cities and farms, Sickly white in the face and dull in the head, very faint, By the jamb of a door leans. Grieve not so, dear mother (the just-grown  daughter speaks through her sobs, The little sisters huddle around speechless and dismay’d), See, dearest mother, the letter says Pete will soon be better. Alas, poor boy, he will never be better (nor maybe needs to be better, that brave and simple soul), While they stand at home at the door he is dead already, The only son is dead. But the mother needs to be better, She with thin form presently drest in black, By day her meals untouch’d, then at night fitfully sleeping, often waking, In the midnight waking, weeping, longing with one deep longing, 0 that she might withdraw unnoticed, silent from life escape and withdraw, To follow, to seek, to be with her dear dead  son.   </DIV>

Thanks to all of you guys who served!! I am humbled to be in the presence of true heroes. If not for the bravery and selflessness of the folks in the armed forces, we would have nothing.
Was lucky enough to be on a flight with a couple of ole boys coming home from over there the other day. I never got to speak to them nor did I want to bother them but you should have seen the welcome committee that they had on arrival! I wish I had my camera out. It was a great sight! My hat's off to you guys!
