Wild Thing's comment.......

Our military is so totally awesome. I am so very proud of every one of them. Thank God for these men and women and their love for our country. And thank God too for the Veterans that went before them to lead the way.

Our troops are the very best! What they do for us is more than professional. They should all be commended and cheered.

You somehow come up with the great pictures, Chrissy. I'm sure there must be a lot of patriotism around but I come here for my daily slug of American pride and a walk down memory lane. I hope that mortar round was pushed by propellant that my friends and I made back then.
