Served in Nam in USAF 69-70, teaching English to VNAF pilots to prepare them for flight school at Shephard AFB. Made a lot of close friends among those pilots but never heard from any of them after the takeover in '74. I think about the kids coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan and what they have gone through. My tour was one year. Some of these troops have serve multiple tours - at times longer than that of the GIs in WWII. I wonder if the price they are paying is too high, fighting and dying to support and stabilize places that have been at war with each other for centuries and will continue to be long after they either leave or pay the ultimate sacrifice there.

I wish to also thank all veterans who ever fought for this country. It's because of them, that I can sit here and enjoy all that I do... this forum, my fishing and everything else which is a signature of freedom!
Life is short and freedom is precious.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
Here also, is a nice story of giving thanks to servicemen fighting for us.
