I too salute all who have served & are serving.
My Dad was a cook in the Marine Corp at the end of WWII
My huband seved in the US Army during the 60's
My oldest nephew, Jess, was in Iraq when it started, in the Marine Corp, the group he was in were one of the 1st to cross the Kuwait border in Iraq. He came home safe & sound.
His brother Will, has served a 7 monht tour also in the Marine Corp & under fire every day. He was injured, but not badly a year ago about now. He goes back to Iraq next spring.
My husbands eldest grandson is in the Marine Corp also. He is stationed on the east coast right now. We also raised Michael from around the age of 13.

Guess you could say the men of this family tend to lean towards the Marine Corp huh???

I do pray that it does end as soon as is feasible. But as long as the fighting goes on I will & do support our Armed Forces.
