Thanks all for your service.

God bless those no longer with us and those still serving.

Thanks to all of you who served out there. Dad did four years in the Corps, 2 tours in Vietnam. I think yesterday he was flying three flags at the house: US, USMC and SMU!

You guys rock. Seriously.

I stupidly forgot to mention The Colonel, my wife who has been serving on Army active duty now for 5 years (total 35 years on active duty and Reserve). She is stationed in D.C. writing policy for taking care of the injured reservists returning from overseas. A very important, humbling, and rewarding job in which she excels!

[Cadillac]

Five years active 3 reserve in the Navy, defending Japan and California from impending Soviet domination

Feeling that, in light of the current geopolitical situation, my service was no longer relevant, I joined the Texas National Guard and am awaiting OCS in February.

I would like to take a minute to send out special thanks to those Vets who's service has put them in harm's way. I don't make a point of my Veteran status because, frankly running around the Pacific drinking beer and chasing tail wasn't much of a sacrifice for me. I'm thankful for that, but I'm even more thankful for those who were called to a greater task. <S>.
