thanks for sharing. My retired airline pilot/USN aviator and I both shed lots of tears when we read this. Lots of our family members have worn and now wear military uniforms.

I had greatuncles who fought in France in WWI and came home missing legs and suffered lung problems from gas; my dad is a WWII/Korea/Vietnam vet, my uncles were in the Navy and the other was an Army parachutist; my stepson now serves in the USAF. We have served with pride and with passion, and love this country like so many others. I pray that my grandchildren will be able to grow up in an America that they can be proud of and want to defend. I worry that may not be the case...

About a million years (1967) ago I rode a passenger jet to Tansunhut Air Base,(SPELLING?) When we arrived and taxied to our slot, every one of the flight crew lined up at the door and shook hands with every man and woman disembarking there.
We all (crew and troops) were misty eyed, as I am now after reading your post. Thank You

Nope. I know precisely what it means.

He's expecting incoming from certain quarters...

I personally love this email. Gets me every time I read it.

I seriously doubt you are wired to understand what life and death mean, and how the wrong word to the wrong person can facilitate change from one to the other, in a totalitarian society.

Lucky you.

He’s using “nully” as a nickname for his handle, null and void. Nully is painting a bullseye on his own back for the criticism he will recieve from other FReepers for either adding to the original post or using a chain letter as a post. Got it?

Because of all the a-hole replies I’ve asked the Mod Squad to remove that part of the title.

Happy now?

Fellow FReepers are the least of my concern.
