Chuck Norris is not a Veteran of any war.
Wars are veterans of Chuck Norris.

I'm biased in what I consider "celebs" my list of top ten:
1. My father SFC William Swan
2. My Grandfather SGT Warren Leftwich
3. My Drill Sergeants from D/787 MP BN Ft McClellan AL 1994
4. My first team LDR, squad LDR, and PSG when I got to my first unit
5. My first 1SG CSM James Barrett. I cannot say enough good things about him
6. Every Soldier I got to serve with. I learned something from all of you. I hope I gave you something in return that was usable and not on a 4856.
7. Everyone who can look at their right arm and see a glowing Red One on it. And anyone else who can look on BOTH arms and see a glowing Red One on it.
8. Every servicemember who's answered the call, rucked up, and moved out smartly. Not giving one f*ck who's in their way, but willing to drop em like a bad habit if need presents itself.
9. All the NCO's I've had. I might not have understood what you said, what you meant, or the lessons learned, but you were there...even when I f*cked up royally, you made sure I pulled my head out of my ass and Charlie Miked with the quickness. 1SG Francis Knutson, I owe you a shitload I'll never get to repay. MSG Antonio Bates. You too brother. You tried to tell me what war was like and I wasn't hearing you. I had to go and figure it out. Glad both of us are here. SFC Ruiz C Battery Hamilton's Own. Another NCO who will give you nuggets when you think he isn't. SMA Kidd. I met him once and he left an impression of really caring for the Soldiers. Got his coin and remember him to this day. MAJ (then SGT) William Ward. Another smart as hell MP. SFC Gary Bennett. Another NCO way smarter than his rank would ever show. I could go forever but if I didn't mention you, Brothers I damn sure remember you. ITC Killough!! A Sailor who was cool as hell, but don't test the Chief. His game was tight when it came to his Joes.
10. Fellow members of the Armed Forces. No one made you join, no one made you stay. But something inside told you this was where you needed to be, and this was the home you've been looking for. When you want to look at a REAL celeb, grab a mirror. Fellas some of us aren't the best looking dudes, so we might wanna get someone to hold the mirror for us so when it cracks we won't hurt ourselves.
None of the folks I look up to are rich in money. They're richer than hell in life experiences. Real world application of tactics and plans, movers and shakers in a world that doesn't get much credit for what we do, but folks love to bring the hammer down on. All of them have lost someone and saved others who needed it. Thanks to all of you regardless of MOS.
For the first and probably ONLY time for me on RP or anywhere else, I'm not going to make any Coast Guard jokes. That will recommence tomorrow.
