I will raise a toast in their honor ET. My thanks to them and so many others who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for the rest of us.

good men that continue to live on in the memories and the hearts of their brethern are the closest man ever comes to being immortal.
glad you made it home Jim, truly thankful for that, my condolences for what you lost while serving and my heartfelt gratitude for your service.
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Thanks to them and to all the others.

Jim
Speaks worlds to remember veterans.
All I can say is a meager thanks, thats not nearly enough, for you, for your brothers. Both here and departed.
And that I will have the privilege of a handshake and pat on the back for all they did someday.
Didn't catch this till now, but will tip one in honor of them and you, and all current and former military.
