And a  [clap] a  [beer] and a thank you to all those have served and given it all, as well as those who continue to give their all. But let us get our troops back safely, hopefully soon! They have been away for too long.

Gone, not forgotten.

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

You know who you are.


Gentlemen, here is to you guys, the brothers we have lost and our enemies that have given us the unique and blessed opportunity to put their sorry asses in shallow graves.  Enjoy this weekend.  Reflect. And tomorrow strive to be better at our unique profession.  That is all.

"The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive how veterans of earlier wars were treated by their nation.”

I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

^ Time does not matter. I know that both my Veteran Grandfathers wouldn't mind, heck...they probably had some small part in that sunrise. Stopping life for just a moment and remembering them and all that served is what counts. 
He man, where are all the ads?

I know Kopf will hate me for this....

but I don't care. ;D

You have to put it in perspective in a Memorial Day thread.  ;)

whatever that may be.

It is the Soldier, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the press;
It is the Solder, not the poet who has given us the freedom of speech;
It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer who has given us freedom to demonstrate
It is the Soldier-- Who salutes the flag; Who serves beneath the flag; and whose coffin is draped by the flag.
Author unknown.

I have yet to read anything remotely truthful as this.  My gratitude to all who have served (living and dead) and those who will.  I know what freedom means because I came from a place where freedom was under attack.  This is the best country on earth bar none.
