Thank you from deep in my gut for serving our country. Wear your patches with your head held high. My time was during Vietnam and soldiers were spit on when they returned......almost makes my eyes wet even thinking about it. Your time across the pond will mold your future.......be proud.

only a total a-hole would object to that jacket, and you could probably kick his *** anyway.

Just want to say that I was one of MANY people who protested the Vietnam war. And we never protested against the people who served our country. For one thing we knew that kids were drafted into that place and we were in line ourselves. It was a god-awful period in our lives, not the first or last. Wars are mostly started and run by people in high places who never have to pay the costs. Anyone who disrespected the troops would have been shunned by the people I knew. Thank you for your service to our country.

I like it. Seriously.

Thought you OEF boys already kicked the **** out of the Taliban? How about adding Al Qaeda to the hunt.
