Thanks for supporting the females, Big Bro Jim I,there are alot of men who don't.There were quite a few Marine female causualties in Iraq last year, including fatalities and burn victims among those that had to search suspected female insurgents. I still think of them often.I respect the service of the men you overheard but someone needs to enlighten them and bring them into the 21st century. If you get arrested I'm sure we can raise some bail money. Continuing to salute with you and the others.

Thanks for picking DJ Dietz as one of the examples! He and Sgt. Smith will be role models forever.

Thank you for sharing this link MP. It is always so good to read about our individual warriors and their courage, bravery and dedication to their fellow warriors and to our nation. All of you deserve nothing less than tremendous gratitude and respect from each and every one of your fellow countrymen. God bless all of you.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all these hero's families as they go though the holiday season.The family and friends of Air Force Senior Airman, Adam P.Servais, from Wisconsin top my prayer list today. I am going over to Any Soldier now to send the best care package I can come up with to an Airman in his honor. God Bless all our Troops around the world.
