Salute!!! I only wish all people could know and remember what these men know too well. The ugly and real face of war.

My father is a WWII veteran and it is indescribable to relate his emotions when his grandson (my son) received 2 Purple Hearts in Iraq. As a father it is hard to meet your son returning from a tour and know that he has faced what I have only read about--and have no real point of reference to relate to his expeience. Only respect and exceptance of how he has changed keep us close as ever. HOOAHH 101st Airborne!!!

If only we didn't have to keep learning these lessons...

No emoticons can express the deep respect and honor I have for all Veterans.
