It's a tear for all the pain and suffering they have encountered. And it's a tear for their commitment to defending our freedoms and saving lives of their fellow man!"

Reworded from a Firefighters poem, to honor our Troops 3/26/03 by David K. (aka Johnny Gage)

Thank you, Johnny Gage.

We mourn with those who mourn, and love our troops.

Please forgive me if I haven't included your name in this ping list. I don't have the time to go back to my mail and copy down the names. Please know this - I have printed out every greeting I received, and printed out the messages from this thread. Y'all have been great with your response. The candy doesn't mean half as much as the personal messages they receive.

I have printed out all of the greetings I received here, and at my FReepmail address. I couldn't believe the overwhelming response.

I have changed some of the shorter messages to large type - and of all of them, printed out numerous copies so that I had lots of copies of each of them to hand out.

There are certain ones that I know will have special meaning to those I meet but will only know which one to give them "for their wall" when I've been talking with them for awhile.

Others, I'll let pick out the greeting I've printed out.

I don't have the time to thank you all personally - I'm off to visit the wounded at WRAMC.

I'll report in after my visit.

Thank you all so much for your personal greetings. It means so much to them - to know that we love them, that we support them and that we are praying for them.

God bless you all.
