We are all still part of any conflict or war that is past, present or future. Do you agree?

Weather you are active duty, disabled, retired, you are still a part. Every Brother and/or Sister that is wounded or killed, is another part of our family that has been injured or lost to us. We will never be alone!

Conflict is cyclical. Brotherhood is perpetual. My brother from WWII is my brother from Afghanistan. The only difference is time, not honor.

SFC Collin McMillion, here's a well known portion of John Donne's Meditation XVII, discussing the interconnectivity of mankind:
"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee."
