Hey betty,
I've never served any purposefull meaning to our country other than workinging my ass off in the civilian sector. Yea, reserve, but that doesn't compare to individuals currently doing (in a twisted sort of way I wish I hadn't gotten out, and I want back in). I'd never do that, he shames me and my country for wearing what is not deserved.
With love and respect, Scrappy

I must disagree, before VMI, my parents gave me the honor of visiting Arlington. There can be no blemish on anything there, anyone that cleans even if it is the handle on on a chapel or a crook in an name engraving. Many men labor to honor, even the occassional visitor.
