    Well said. I try never to pass a soldier/saior/marine without thanking him for his service. I've been known to buy a beer and/or sandwich or two on occasion.

    And always remember the words of George Orwell: "We sleep safely in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm."

    Freedom is not free, but the US Marine Corps will pay most of your share.

    Or, as General Honore (he commanded the Army response after Katrina) said at a conference I attended. "The sheep tend to resent the sheepdogs, who eat up food they could be using, until the wolves come around."

    I salute all the men and women around the world who would place themselves in the line of fire to defend freedom.
