Thanks for putting your lives on the line for us so we can live comfortably.

I did not pay for this message, but I endorse it. :)

I want to keep this thread going, in part because I was slow to realize it. Not too many days are celebrated nationally on Saturday.

Reflecting on "hitting the wall" at mile 15 of a 20-mile run Saturday - that's not a real killer - see Bataan Death March (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bataan_Death_March). :eek:

World War I was mentioned for a couple of reasons. First - it celebrates the World War I armistice on Nov 11. Secondly, there are still a tiny handful of veterans from that war that are over 100 - we are lucky to have them today in the flesh.

I want to mention to the Vietnam vets as well as the current Iraq vets - it's espically challenging to fight in a gurerlla/asymetrical war.

Chuck,

Thanks for taking the time to mention Vietnam Vets I was one of them. Maybe I should say I am one of them still living.

It's Appreciated believe me.


Thanks again,

Terry

if you can survive war, you can survive anything... their bravery will always be remembered, because without it we wouldn't be here enjoying the lives we presently cherish on a day to day basis.
