I pray I never have to go to Arlington for any reason.
With the exception of a recently departed national figure...Arlington, or any military cemetery, will bring home the cost of freedom and for how long that price has been paid. I've been to Arlington...truly hallowed ground.
I lost a good friend in a firefight while deployed to Afghanistan. SSG Nick Carnes was a good man and I want to thank each and everyone of you for your support. It helps to know that people back home support us and care. It was a great feeling to receive care packages from people all over the United States that I didn't even know. The contents of the care packages did NOT matter the only thing that did matter was the fact that people cared and showed their support to troops they didn't even know or would ever meet. I am PROUD to serve this great nation of ours and will ALWAYS answer the call of duty. Again thank you for the support and GOD BLESS AMERICA ...Spc.Robertson

i think this pic is equally moving but on a much brighter side. any ways thank you to all the troops
thanks for the smooch I miss you too !
So many men and women have died so that we can have what we have. It sad but true. The thing that is more sad is what this country is becoming. If only some of those people new that today would be the way that it is. My hat is off to all of those serving or who have. I am proud to be in the military. Yesterday was ten years for me..
