Amen, well said. I am proud to call myself an Army brat. If it wasn't for my pop and all his Army buddies I wouldn't be the man I am today.

I will take some time to ride to a local park and visit the local version of the Vietnam wall and the OIF wall. Pay my respects to some of my high school classmates and my cousin. Then ride to the local veterns cemetary, again to talk to my cousin.
