Whether a person volunteers for military duty or is drafted; whether s/he
serves 'stateside' their entire career, or has life cut short in some
faraway mudhole; they are each and every one precious to us.  They are the
shield that prevents each of us from having to learn to handle firearms in
our own defense (unless you like that sort of thing, it's a bit unreal and
frightening, after all).  They are the 'threat' that keeps fools like Saddam
in line.  And they are the gentle souls whose hearts are broken by the
deaths of brothers-in-arms and the nasty behavior of those they protect.  If
you're a Vet - or in active service - stand up!  Get those shoulders back!
And know you are deeply appreciated.
