"and will personally support them and the cause to the death if it really ever came down to that"
Well fortunately for us (and you too) it hasn't come to that with you Quig. God bless you all especially those in past, current, or even future service! I have a brother-in-law that served in both in Afgan and Iraq and is thankfully home and a my oldest son is already starting to look towards Army service just a couple of years down the road (he wants to be Airborne like his uncle was)!
