I also get to hurt with them, when a member of their unit is gravely injured or dies. I've gotten to know many -- and they stay in touch with me.

Same thing, I suppose.

am from Ft. Worth, but have lived
many yrs in west central TX.
De Oppresso Liber PALS. As a wife of a SF soldier KIA recently, I can tell you with a great deal of certainty that the majority of the SF community supports GW.
