I've been lucky, so far, on my deployments to not have to deal with anything real bad. I still feel a kinship with those who have "been there and done that". I salute those brave men and women who came before me and those "over there" right now putting their lives on the line to fight for those who can't fight for themselves. At my son's kindergarten graduation yesterday, they started off with the Pledge of Allegiance and I noticed quite a few "tough guys" wipeing their eyes at the end. For so many people, Memorial Day means nothing more than a 3 or 4 day weekend and some really good sales
