<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 24593483, member: 100459&quot;] <ul> <li>WOW!!!&nbsp; That is a great article.&nbsp; As we get older, many of us atrophy in our reading and learning about the things that made our country great.&nbsp; My great-grandfather was killed in France during WWI, leaving his wife and 5 children to fend for their self. When WWII came around, many of us lost relatives, then Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and many other skirmishes.&nbsp; Some have kept us true to our convictions, other protested as well as other ways to fight against the ideals that our forefathers fought so hard so preserve our way of life.</li> </ul><p>Your article made me think of our responsibilities as citizens of the great nation.</p><p>Thank you all for the words of wisdom that you give to us.&nbsp; Some are in jest and others are direct hits to our sense of respect and honor.&nbsp; I served in the United States Army, 1968 -1970, my brother chose the Navy during those turbulent times.&nbsp; My father served in the Navy during WWII, then the Army during Korea and finally, in Vietnam.</p><p>All of us have friends, relatives, and neighbors that had relatives lost during times of war and even the wars that had not been declared.</p><p>Every evening before my family went to bed, we knelt against the sofa to have prayers, to remember those that are serving our country, and especially their families back home.&nbsp; Our men and women are still fighting a battle that may never end in peace.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
