hooah, our youngest daughter #3 of 6 kids, joined the Iowa Army Natl Guard in high school right after her sopy year. She's and e7 and served in Iraq, Afghanistan and multi nation peace keeping force in Gaza Strip, so 3 tours. Anyhow, thank you for your service to our country, and hooah

Appreciate what you do. I joined the Army in 1973 and still serving in the Air Guard. I'm not in your shoes but know what you are going through. Be safe my friend.

Thanks for your service. My family and I like the Walking Dead. Just finished watching the season finale. Be safe.

Looking forward to get a viewpoint from someone that has walked in the stands of Iraq. We have more than enough arm chair chikenhawks that have never worn a military uniform. Check out the discussions in US Politics.
