Thanks
I like the sentiment. I'm a Desert Storm veteran. - Silverknight , posted 06/08/05

Our veterans, please read
I pass this on not only for those that have passed but those who are serving today. To those that have served and those that were released early. To those over seas and to those who are not. To those who could go and to those who got held back. To those who serve the front line and to those who serve the offices at home. To those who are the spouses that work and to those who stay home to care for the kids. Blessings to you all. Dedicated to Jack.
Please pass on to those you know.
