Thanks for the support everyone. I remember being homesick on deployment and missing everyone here in Jacksonville. The mall, the movies, friends, family, the Jags games, barbecues, the beach, the clubs, everything. I also remember watching the Jags games to keep me motivated while I was in the desert. Gotta love David and Fred. i wish both guys just ran more! haha and MJD of course!

My brother will be in the Sandbox come August. He's excited and ready to go. My family is proud of him and we know he will represent the Army and his fellow Troops from all branches well.

He's a bit upset he's not in Afghanistan right now as he is a huge MMA fan and several top fighters from both WEC and UFC are there this week to see the Troops.

He will be home next month for leave before he deploys. He's been in the Mojave and other deserts here in the US training for his time Over There and I'm not sure he'll know how to act in a house again! Indoor plumbing! Running water! A bed!

Anyway... as a former Soldier and the daughter, sister, ex-wife and granddaughter of Veterans..... Thank you for your service.

Thanks alot for keeping us safe. USA, USA, USA!!!!!!

If tomorrow all the things were gone
I'd worked for all my life
and I had to start again
With just my children and my wife
I'd thank my lucky stars to be living here today
Cause the flag still stands for freedom
And they can't take that away.

Chorus: And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up next to you
And defend her still today.
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land.
God bless the U. S. A.

From the lakes of Minnisota
To the hills of Tennesse
Across the plains of Texas
From sea to shinning sea
From Detroit down to Houston
From New York to L. A.
There's a pride in every American heart
And it's time we stand and say

Chorus: And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up next to you
And defend her still today.
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land.
God bless the U. S. A.

Chorus: And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up next to you
And defend her still today.
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land.
God bless the U. S. A.

On this day when we honor our fallen heroes, thoughts and prayers go out to those that have served, or are currently serving in the US armed services along with their families that share their sacrifice.

To those that have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country, I salute and thank you.

Soldier to receive Purple Heart during Lions game

Sergeant, who lost both legs and an eye in Iraq, is a true-blue Lions fan -- you can see it in his eyes.

Dear God, this thread has not been getting any attention at all. Goes to show you where our hearts are. I apologize men and women of the Armed Forces. I served 17 years in the Navy and know how important news from home is to the Military abroad.
I served 3 broken enlistments in the Navy, Vietnam from 71-74. reenlisted 77-81 and survived without conflict, 82-92 and fought with Kadafy, helped run down the Aquilli Laura hijackers, then after a couple Med cruises off to Desert Storm.

More are with you than agin ya!!! God Bless

RE: MESSAGES TO OUR TROOPS!

Utopia — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 16:02:19 GMT

As a member of our Armed Forces, Thank you all on behalf of all serving. You all know by now, I'm generally not that serious with most of my posts. On a serious note though. It is troubling to many of us serving to hear that the support for us is not unified. Left or Right, remember how this whole mess started. Protecting our families and you should not be something used as a tool by politicians to try to "one up" each other. It doesn't lend itself well to the job we do, and our brothers and sisters who have lost their lives doing so.

Now that I said that, I'll get back to posting illogical, less than funny, babble:D:w00t::D:w00t::D

I don't think there's any doubt that the majority of Americans support the many fine women and men who serve our country, especially those in harm's way. Resistance to the war does not necessarily mean non-support of our troops.

God bless them, one and all. Hopefully we'll see you home soon.

First I want to thank all that helped me find info....But we got a call from him this morning at 3 am...He is OK...He was on the helicopter ..But they had just gotten off when the helicopter went down....They took cover around a tank as they took fire...Then they called in an air strike...He says things have settled down...Then he went on to talk about things that went through his head as all this was happening,,,My message to him is to focus on what is happening ...not what if's...Here I sit relieved...But yet I feel for the families that were not as lucky as us this time...God must have a place picked out for these men...A place high above heaven ..
