Damn Richard, ya made me cry first thing this morning.
In the hot FL summers, I hear, a lot, "it hot enough for you?" That question has always irritated me. I have a great comeback these past few yrs.
"mmmm ya know I could be, like my son, wearing body armor, boots, a helmet and 80 lbs of commo gear on my back in the 114 degree heat of Baghdad. NO, its not hot enough yet to complain." That pretty much always leaves they whiner speechless.
I am so very proud not only to be an American, to know those good guys out there keeping me free, are 'mine'. I sure as hel would hate to be on the wrong side of them..thanks Richard, you quite made my day!

Richard: You put a tear or two in my eyes. I thank you for reminding me of these men. I was just thinking about our LEO's, too, as what used to be routine is not anymore. Gone are the fist fights between men who would be friends afterwards. Gunfights seem to be the norm now.

Yeah, but John Wayne beat him to it.
I watched Fort Apache this morning on the AMC Channel.
The last scene JW says something almost the same about soldiers.
