As long as there are people out there who will try to disturb the peace in any way, they will have to be dealt with, often with deadly force. Thank you for your service, and please pass along my thanks to any of your family still living who served.

ReplyDeleteI respect your service to our country. I served a tad as a Reservist and my late husband made me a Nam Vet widow. Ironically, War and Peace share the same historical bookshelf. Some do not recognize this. If only it were as easy as The Beastie Boys Fight For Our Right for (Freedom). Thank you for your service. It needs to be reminded that coming to arms is many times part of the Peace process. Protecting our way of life and our ideals has cost us many lives. Peace to yours this season.
ReplyDeleteBluezy,Thank you and your Late Husband (Rest In Eternal Peace,Brother!! Slow Hand Salute!!)
ReplyDeletefor your service,You are right sometimes taking up arms is the road to peace,my late Dad and mant of his Generation did just that first against Germany and than after the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor,the fight against Japan.
