dleo, and others...having just missed Nam by a few numbers in the draft lottery, I've always felt I missed out on a part of defending, or representing my country. Those that made reference to the "baby killers, etc." are, for the most part, enjoying our freedom. Any vets of any of our wars are my heros...period. Anytime the Anthem is performed (well) sends chills up my spine and a lump in my throat. I attend some NASCAR events, and when the jets do a fly-by, well, that really puts the icing on the cake for me.
I personally want to thank all of you vets out there. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be where we are, and to be able to enjoy the best country in the world...thank you! (and the commercial was the best one of the night, they need to show it more).
