It sure as hell does!!!! Tell him thanks from all of us.

I was telling my drivers not to charge vets fares today on our buses.

Vets should receive many more benefits than they do, and all of them deserve respect whether they were in S&S or on the front lines.

first of all i'd like to say thanks to Jessica Lynch and to all the people that think her rescue is a big deal. My old unit was responsible for her rescue. 51st Fco LRSU

there are many more people that need to be thanked in regard to Operation Iraqi freedom including 4 of my buddies that have been killed... all recieved higher medals that jessica lynch but never got on the front page of the NY times.

To PFC Kile... I'm sorry i wasn't there and i could have been me RIP.

To Red in OA: RIP

To Sgt. Andrew Baddick who died while rescuing another soldier during a gunfight... what you didn't hear is that he recieved a Purple heart, Silver Star, ArCom w/Valor and is being reviewed for the Distinguished Service Cross (one under the MOH) Posthumously by congress. But im sure nobody heard about that because Jessica Lynch is such a breathtaking story... Here's to you Andy for those good times we had. RIP

Thanks to all that have served and are still serving. And thanks to everyone that supports us/them...people don't realize that most of these brave men and women just joined to get college money and better their future. Who knew they'd be gone.


ERIC... SuaSponte...you'll never be forgotten. Let's Go
