I just traveled to Iowa this past weekend to see a buddy back in the states while he's on 2 week's leave from Afghanistan. Glad I did, because you never know when it will be the last time you see someone, God forbid.
Well Thank You for your Service!! I will never say that enough...You all are bigger men then I...Quote:
