    The older I get (I'm only 36), the more respect and appreciation I have for the men and women who serve in our armed forces. Thanks to all those who have stood between us and harm's way to ensure our freedom. I salute you all, and I am very thankful.

    Have a safe holiday!

    Rick I knew each and every one of these men, I served with each one of them, I Loved each and every one of them, would have died to save any one of them. So as long as I am alive they will never be forgotten... My greatest wish for this wonderful day be that a few people will remember a name of someone gone so they to will never be forgotten.

    Oldsoldier, you and every other member of the military, past and present, amaze me. Thank you for your time, sacrifice, and dedication to all of us. You and your fellow servicemen and women are true heroes and I'm humbled by that.

    A wonderful and safe Fourth of July to everyone.

    Rick... I stand and offer a salute to each and every one of the eleven names you have listed. "May the good Lord offer them rest and a special place to gather and share their stories with each other" and may God bless each and every one of their families.
