Having been raised as a 'Military Brat' and serving in the US Army, US Army Reserve, and US Air Force Reserve for 9.12 Years. I will always support the US Military until I am in my grave. I am a disabled Viet-Nam Era Vet 1973 - 1984. God Bless America, Protect our Service Members!
I support our military 100%. I have a tiny idea of what they went thru in peacetime, but no idea of how severe a war must be to serve in.
I hope and pray they all come home OK and receive the welcome they so richly have earned!

Yes, I support our troops! I wish our country could have kept support for troops who are following Government orders- and how our troops were treated during Vietnam war in same matter! :)
I'm married to a U.S. Marine, so yes, I most certainly support them! Thank you for posting this. I've seen it before and it needs to be passed around, we could use a reminder of what our service men and women do for our safety. :)
