A Memorial Day thank you.

I want to thank you for your sentiments .

Although I served for eighteen and a half years  ,I never got a scratch .I am proud to have worn my adopted country's uniform . I was adopted as a baby . I didn't know about all that till I was a young man . Now , that said . It was with pride I served , and , a sense of duty to the country , and folks like you too . My brother didn't make it out of FALLUJAH  , so Yes ,  there are those families that have lost a loved one .They too ,  I am sure ,  thank you for your thoughts . May our flag always fly over this great land . I didn't post till now as I did so much want to help others who served too ,  and I let the time get away .Bless You .          Tanker-builder

Thank you, Gil.  I lost an uncle in WWII and a brother-in-law, a young Marine, early in the Viet-Nam war.  I have never forgotten them. Coincidentally, his name was Gil, too.
