Awesome guys, you Marines sure have my respect. I was USAF, stationed in New Mexico, but because of my combat weapons training ('60 gunner with Air Base Ground Defense and Emergency Services training), I did a lot of TDYs with the Joint Task Forces. I served with Marines in Peru, Honduras, Panama (yeah, I was there then), Saudi and Kuwait (yeah, then too). Nothing more inspiring than a squad of motivated Marines!

Sorry for the late reply....I too offer my deepest heart felt thanks to all who have served this great nation in uniform, and a special thanks to those that gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, safety and security.

I have been on active duty (Air Force) for 19 years and 2 months. I will be retiring with 20 years time in service on the 1st of October, 2004, and I wouldn't trade ONE MINUTE of my service time for ANYTHING else in the world. It has been my honor and pleasure to serve YOU. May God bless you all.
