To DavidW2415, Thanks for passing on that article. As I as reading it, I found myself asking, "Do I take our people serving this country for granted"?
No, I do not. I appreciate the men & women in our armed forces very much,
even more so because I have a niece & son-in-law that are enlisted. But
while reading this, it made me do a personal gut-check. Thank you to all our troops, past & present. We DO appreciate what you do for us all.

This doesn't really have anything to do with Micheal Jackson but it is a video of the welcome home of a fallen soilder. It was recorded close to Atlanta, GA.

The young man's comments are powerful and true.

Many forum members knew comrades-in-arms, family, and friends who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. My peer group of vets has sent their kids and grandkids and even great grandkids into service and combat. Unfortunately, as always , some have not returned.

The public's reaction to a stars death is often over done. That does not mean many folks do not care about the death of a service member.

I don't even try to compare an over-the-top-reaction to a stars death to the loss of a soldier, sailor, marine, or airman. The service member's cause is noble, their sacrifices great. I am sadden by their death and thankful for their willingness to serve.

I as a Vietnam Vet, ride with the PGR...the day MJ died so did 7 America soldiers ...I never heard it mentioned
but a short clip on the news when the entire day was devoted to MJ...this country has its priority screwed up!

Try this. It's long but I copied and pasted it and it worked for me. I think it may even be a link.

I work for a company that makes protective suits for the military. It makes you think every day when you see how many are moving down the line, that they actualy represent a real person fighting for our freedom. I thank everyone of them.

I really wish M J hadn't died; I'm getting very tired of hearing about him every time turn on the news.
