That they show honest gratitude, instead of just hollow words.

I would be happy to hear a sincere thank you. The military is more than a job, it's more than a way of life. The crux is are we willing to die for the love for the country and the fellow man

I have Actually recurved a few Sincere Thank You’s! However; I would LOVE to see some of the Trup hating doorknobs actually pick up a weapon, put on the uniform and put their “boots on the ground” and see if their perspective changes ( that is if they actually survive)!!! Just my two cents!

You might want to breathe until after the “dog and pony” show is done and the 400 criminal charges mentioned by AG Barr are aired in open Court!PO1 John Johnson
