We all have our reasons for serving. I joined in 1994 as a Reservist who wanted to serve his country. In Sep 2001, I joined active-duty to help rid the world of terrorism and serve my country. Now, being a father, I have to add another reason for my service. "If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace."

Patty and I just said a last goodbye to a friend, a World War II combat veteran.  We're burying him Monday with full military honors.  Appropriate, I think.

Thanks to all of you for your past and present service.

Why is it that we do not realize what folks have done for us until we get older?

Thanks to my great, great grandfather, 15th Massachusetts Volunteers, Civil War, Corporal Charles Gammage, wounded and captured by the South at the Battle of Ball's Bluff/Harrison's Island/Leesburg 1861.

My grandfather William Bryant, Sapper, Signals Corps, WWI, telephone cable runner from front line trenches to artillery batteries, decorated for bravery under heavy bombardment at Molincourt, France, 1917.

Raymond Lewis, my father, WWII, radio operator/top gunner, 1944, night time bombing of Rabaul, Japanese Pacific HQ from Goodenough Island, New Guinea.

Thanks to all who serve for doing what you do, and I do understand you do it for your children, born and unborn.

I have always felt two years compulsory military service should be in force for all Americans, both men and women.  My tiny little feminine wife served and did a very good job.  So there is jobs in the military all women are suited for. 

In the case of contentious objectors, there are jobs for them as well.  Finance, billeting, food services, MWR (Moral Welfare, and Recreation).  It would save the tax payer money, and give everyone training in a job they could fall back on if needed.  I started life in the military as a Plumber, my wife started as a Clerk Typist.

If a person was too incompetent to serve, they are too incompetent to vote.

What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

My AMEN to all the sentiment expressed here.  Thanks to my younger brother, L.Cpl Larry C. Cope, USMC, wounded in Vietnam and eventually killed.  He did not know it until he got back home and developed cancer due to exposure to Agent Orange.  God bless all past present and future!
