I am sure that as President Bush told us there are things we will know and things we will never know in this war or terror. Thank God for our Special Ops, they are the silent and courageous heroes, IMHO, that America will never be able to say THANK YOU to face to face for protecting and serving our Country.

I have just returned from visiting a location where there are a number of Special Ops servicemen. We all went to a rodeo -- and these guys rode the bulls! ($10, and no forms to fill out). Anyway, I took them to dinner afterwards. Yes, I did thank them. And their response is similar to so many servicemen responses I get when I thank them: They brush it off; say it was their job; "did what I was supposed to do"... BUT I do get to see that very wonderful glow in their eyes - it's a flash -- but I thrill to see it. These men and women really do appreciate being thanked. Very, very much.

Out of the very many I've gotten to chat with -- not a single one of these was a braggadocio.
